On June 30th, Drew Fortescue, a defenseman, is making ways at the New York Rangers development camp. He signed a three-year deal late last season and even played in nine games, racking up two assists. This taste of the NHL has him focused on what he needs to improve. He's looking to build on that experience, aiming to get stronger, sharpen his puck handling, and improve his passing accuracy. Fortescue knows there's work to be done, but he's dedicating his summer to that grind. But the 21-year-old is one of the defense prospects who might have an edge heading into training camp. He's aiming for a spot on the opening night roster, and that means putting in the extra effort now. He'll be training locally in Pearl River, New York for most of the summer.
Even with his NHL experience, Fortescue found value in attending development camp, seeing it as a chance to learn and connect with the team. It's all about setting himself up for success. He's enjoying being around the team and getting to know the new faces, looking forward to what's next. Stay locked in with New York Rangers News Today.
