Ben Harpur turned an AHL PTO into a two-year extension, and doesn’t plan to look back.
Rangers fall to Maple Leafs in OT despite Kid Line’s strong night“Being safe, playing smart, playing hard,” Gallant said of how Harpur solidified a roster spot. “Not flashy at all, as we all know, but he’s just doing a good job there. I think our team has played really well since he’s been in the lineup. Not putting that all on him, but just the makeup sometimes and with a guy like that on the back: A big, physical guy when he has to be.
Fluctuating in and out of the lineup and between the NHL and minor leagues has been a big part of Harpur’s hockey career. It’s something to which he has grown accustomed, but he still came into the Rangers’ organization with an open mind. He said he knows nothing is ever cemented in the NHL and that other players are always gunning to take someone else’s job, so Harpur has viewed every day as a tryout.
The matchup Friday night against the Golden Knights was Harpur’s 19th straight game skating alongside Schneider. “I think we’ve done nothing but grow confident and grow confidence in each other,” Schneider said of Harpur. “I think we’ve played really well. I think each game, we’re getting better and we know what each other’s tendencies are now and what we need to do to succeed. I’m extremely happy for him and he’s earned every bit of it, and I hope we can keep things going.”
