Fritsche On Waivers
According to Steve Zipay, the Rangers have placed forward Dan Fritsche on waivers. If he is claimed, or if he is reassigned to Hartford, the Rangers will save approximately $360,000 in cap space.
The Rangers are back in action tonight against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes (7:00pm – MSG) and Stephen Valiquette will be in net. The Canes have struggled with offense but got great goaltending from Cam Ward in the two games prior to the All-Star break, when he stopped 67 of 68 shots to shutout the Leafs and backstop Carolina to a 2-1 win over Pittsburgh.
