But the league was not likely to give the benefit of the doubt to Lemieux, who was fined $2,000 earlier in this season for an elbow to the head of Cody Glass in Las Vegas on Dec. 8. by presumptive Hart finalist Artemi Panarin and the splendid Mika Zibanejad and the third line that becomes so much more dangerous and credible if Kaapo Kakko can carry the urgency and pace he displayed during the first week of practice into the tournament, that’s the entirety of the varsity without Lemieux.That’s the length of the harsh, but neither unfair nor unreasonable, suspension the NHL has handed down in the aftermath of the winger’s gratuitous elbow to the head of Colorado’s unsuspecting winger Joonas Donskoi at the 17:08 of the third period the Rangers’ 3-2 overtime defeat in Colorado in the club’s final game on March 11.So the number of games the depth-challenged Rangers will be without Brendan Lemieux for the qualifying series against Carolina is two.It surely remains to be seen whether David Quinn, who hadn’t quite found a meaningful purpose for the fourth line in nearly two years until the Blueshirts acquired Gauthier from Carolina on Feb. 18 and placed him in the lineup the following night, has the depth to withstand a significant injury and still make a meaningful run.The depth issue is particularly pressing on defense, where the Blueshirts carried only six following the deadline trade of Brady Skjei to Carolina. That’s the length of the suspension the NHL has handed down in the aftermath of the winger’s elbow to the head of Colorado’s unsuspecting winger Joonas Donskoi at 17:08 of the third period in the Rangers’ 3-2 overtime defeat in Colorado during the club’s final game on March 11.But the league was not likely to give the benefit of the doubt to Lemieux, who was fined $2,000 earlier in this season for an elbow to the head of Cody Glass in Las Vegas on Dec. 8.Chances are Lemieux, who is considered a repeat offender after having previously been suspended while with Winnipeg for an elbow to the head of Florida’s Vincent Trocheck in a Nov. 2, 2018, match in Helsinki, would have received a five-game regular-season sentence.

If one applies the informal and unwritten one-for-three rule, then Lemieux could perhaps have escaped with only missing the Aug. 1 opener.The Rangers, of course, knew they would start without the fourth-line left wing, who had been at his most effective in months while combining with linemates Greg McKegg and Julien Gauthier in a previous iteration.

Howden has worked with McKegg and Lemieux while Phil DiGiuseppe flipped down to the third unit in order to accommodate Chris Kreider’s return from the injury list (when we knew what at least some of the injuries were).But that’s it.

Brendan Lemieux of the Barrie Colts is known as an agitator first, second, and third. Perfectly fits the cliche as a player you hate to play against but love to have on your team. The younger Lemieux’s defensive game is very much a work in progress at this point. If injury or illness strikes, the untested but Libor Hajek but more tested than Darren Raddysh would be next.Of course, there are three goaltenders. Lemieux also has the ability to burn you offensively as he is a top 5 scorer on Barrie.
