Day: October 22, 2008

Off day for the Rangers, with their next game not until Friday, when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets in Ohio. One player who will be unlikely to make the trip is Patrick Rissmiller who cleared waivers just minutes ago. The Rangers are now free to assign the UFA forward to Hartford if they so desire.

Rissmiller was waived yesterday, clearing approximately $900,000 in additional cap space for the organization, and leaves the team with just two spare forwards and an open spot if they need to bring up a defenseman.
