New York Rangers: Ranking the team’s active defensemen

Rob O’Gara

Rob O’Gara is one of the Rangers newest acquisitions. Acquired near the deadline in exchange for Nick Holden from the Boston Bruins, O’Gara is a young player who has shown some physical abilities. O’Gara stands at 6-foot-4 and weighs in at 215 pounds.

The biggest components of his game include his physicality of his game. At all previous levels of hockey, he’s been known as a stay at home defender. O’Gara has never been an overt offensive producer, however, his play in high school and college was somewhat productive.

O’Gara, however often has some trouble with the possession side of the game, sporting a career 43.9 corsi for percentage.

The New York born defensemen is the sixth ranked defensemen on the Rangers roster active currently because, quite frankly, he’s really struggled in the defensive end. However, with time O’Gara may evolve his game.
