Derek Stepan showed Thursday that not only is he ready to skate in the NHL, but he can do so with the top guns of the New York Rangers.

The 20-year-old center found himself center the first line, between right wing Marian Gaborik and left wing Alexander Frolov, during the Rangers' 4-3 preseason victory against the New Jersey Devils at Madison Square Garden.

Stepan looked calm, sharp and comfortable with the talent around him while picking up an assist on Gaborik's first-period power-play goal.
