Klein, who is coming off consecutive 26-point seasons, appears to be locked in as the Rangers' No. 2 right defenseman heading into Opening Night.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran's put together his two best offensive seasons since coming to New York, notching exactly nine goals and 17 assists twice in a row. He'll look to duplicate or improve on those results in what seems likely to be a continually growing role on Broadway; Klein's ice time jumped by nearly two full minutes last year, and he's become one of the team's most relied-upon blueliners.
