The Rangers have placed Patrick Rissmiller on waivers, and if he is not claimed he’ll likely be reassigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack. The move would free up just under $1 million in cap room if he is indeed sent down.

Rissmiller made just his second start for the Rangers last night, in their 2-1 loss to the visiting Dallas Stars. Fortunately for New York, they don’t have to play again until Friday when they play Columbus, which will no doubt help them recover from the sprints they had to do at practice today.
