Back to EpisodesRangers Coach Raves About Rookie Defenseman Fortescue
Description
Rangers rookie defenseman Adam Fortescue, drafted in the third round in 2023, has impressed coach Mike Sullivan with his smart hockey play, particularly in his own zone. Pairing well with Braden Schneider, Fortescue has shown great puck poise and vision, making tape-to-tape passes instead of dumping it out. Despite a slowdown in points since his debut, the Rangers have outscored opponents three-to-one with him on the ice and won three of four games. Sullivan sees potential for a top-four role on the left side as Fortescue gains strength and continues to develop his defensive stick, outlet passes, and physical edge.
