New York have placed four players on waivers today per puckpedia.com. It marks the first indication of cuts to the 48 man roster that the Rangers are currently carrying in Training Camp. The four include forwards Justin Dowling and Jusso Parssinen along with defensemen Urho Vaakanainen and Dennis Cholowski.

It’s likely the Rangers will also send additional players down either today, or after tonight’s game at some point. With just two more preseason games remaining after the Islanders match-up, Mike Sullivan will be looking to whittle down his roster. Some prospects will remain for Game 3 to offset the limitations on veterans who can only play two games.

The Rangers host the Islanders tonight at MSG in their second of four preseason games. They’ll complete an almost wholesale switch of the line-up with 18 changes to the roster. Unlike last night’s very inexperienced line-up, Mike Sullivan will go with a team heavy on projected starters.

Two forwards will get another shot, with both Liam Greentree and Dylan Roobroeck starting their second straight game. Greentree has caught the attention with his offensive game, and Roobroeck is a potential bottom six forward who has shown more dimensions to his game to start training camp. Both could be potential call ups during the year.
