Rangers' Justin Braun: Munches minutes against rivals
Rotowire
Braun had one hit and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.
Braun was solid in his 17:45 of ice time, all at even strength. He has rotated with Patrik Nemeth on the third pair alongside rookie Braden Schneider since coming over in a trade with the Flyers. Braun has one goal and one assist in seven appearances for the Rangers.
Braun is being held out of the lineup Sunday against the Islanders due to the upcoming trade deadline Monday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
As such, there's a high likelihood the 35-year-old will be traded in the next day. Braun's 16 points, 36 PIM, 79 hits and 114 blocked shots this season have been helpful at times in DFS formats and deeper leagues.

Rangers' Justin Braun: Dealt to New York
Rotowire
Braun was traded by the Flyers to the Rangers on Monday in exchange for a 2023 third-round pick, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
The 35-year-old will bring a steadying veteran presence to the Blueshirts' back end. Braun's rate of production of 16 points should increase for a Rangers team that's far superior to the struggling Flyers this year, and his physicality (79 hits, 114 blocks) should be plenty appreciated in front of emerging star netminder Igor Shesterkin.
