Gauthier Reassigned and Tinordi Claimed
Veteran defenseman Jarred Tinordi has been claimed by the Chicago Blackhawks, further weakening the Rangers’ blue line depth. Signed last year as a free agent, Tinordi was in the final year of a two year deal, having played just seven games for the Rangers.
Tinordi made the opening night roster, and even played against the Washington Capitals in the 5-2 season opening loss, but quickly lost his regular spot to Nils Lundkvist, and then Braden Schneider, ultimately being reassigned to play in Hartford.
