Trade acquisition Urho Vaakanainen has played well for the New York Rangers and made a difference for them defensively.
Urho Vaakanainen is in his seventh NHL season, and the Rangers are his third team, but the 26-year-old defenseman never has reached the playoffs.
GREENBURGH — As they got ready Sunday morning to face the struggling Nashville Predators at Madison Square Garden, part of the Rangers’ preparation was trying to assimilate two new guys, young forward Juuso Parssinen and veteran defenseman Calvin de Haan, into their lineup.
Jonny Brodzinski and Urho Vaakanainen each had an NHL career-high three points to power the New York Rangers past the New York Islanders 5-1 on Tuesday at UBS Arena. The win was their second straight and fifth in the past seven games.
