Six Reassigned – Four On Waivers
The Rangers reassigned six more players to Hartford this morning and placed four more veterans on waivers ahead of reassignment tomorrow should they clear. With the Training Camp roster now standing at 32, with 29 healthy players and 3 injured, the four waiver players would bring the team down to just a handful of decisions to get to 23.
On waivers today are Anton Blidh, Glenn Gawdin, Marc Del Gaizo and William Trudeau. It would be surprising if any of the four were to be claimed, and they will be assigned to Hartford should they clear. For the other six, there’s a possibility that we’ll see one or more of them during the season should there be injuries.
Rangers Comeback Leads To Shooutout Victory
It took three games, but the Rangers finally got their first win of the preseason. Another largely AHL roster showed great character to fight back from 2-0 down at the start of the third. Joonas Korpisalo then stopped all three shots he faced in the shootout after Will Cuylle had scored on the Rangers second attempt to complete the comeback.
A solid effort for a team that featured only one of the projected top six forwards, and a defense corps that was light on starters. Cuylle, Tye Kartye and Joe Veleno all saw their first preseason action, with Cuylle probably one of the better forwards on the ice for the Rangers.
