Rangers Roundup: Lindy Ruff interviewed with NJ, Ryan Lindgren awaiting clearance, and Phase 3 Training Camp news
Elliotte Friedman recently broke that New York Rangers assistant coach, Lindy Ruff was a candidate for the New Jersey Devils head coaching job. Now Larry Brooks is reporting that the Rangers granted permission and Ruff actually interviewed for the position. As I noted in our most recent podcast, should Ruff get the job, NJ would not announce it until after the Rangers are done playing in the 24 team playoffs.
Lindy Ruff Devils Coaching Candidate
Ruff, whose areas of specific responsibility are the defense and penalty kill, is in his third year with the Blueshirts. It is unclear whether the Devils would have permission to hire the 59-year-old coach before the Rangers either win the Stanley Cup or are eliminated in the planned summer tournament for which New Jersey did not qualify.
