At 6-foot-6, Ben Harpur is just the type of big-bodied defenseman favored by Blueshirts head coach Gerard Gallant.
A fourth-round selection of the Senators in the 2013 draft with 174 games of NHL experience, Harpur would provide an ideal fit as the club’s seventh or eighth defenseman. His contract would not count against the cap if he were in Hartford.
GM Chris Drury is believed to be seeking a more formidable defenseman via a deadline rental to pair with Schneider down the stretch and in the playoffs. Harpur, who has been on for nine goals for and eight against at five-on-five, rarely plays down the stretch of tight games. For example, Harpur got two shifts over the final 16:33 of regulation in the Rangers’ 3-2 overtime defeat in Toronto on Wednesday. Schneider got one additional spin. The Blueshirts need a third pair the coach will send onto the ice even if the game is on the line.
