It appears that the New York Rangers may have misjudgedformer Rangers Jack Roslovic as he has had a strong start to his season with his new team the Carolina Hurricanes.

Roslovic has made the most of his ice time as head coach Rob BrindAmour has given him 13 minutes and 36 seconds of average ice time per game while scoring nine goals and one assist for 10 points through 13 games. BrindAmour has been surprised himself with the production he's been getting from the former Ranger but clearly is not complaining.

«I don't know what's going on there,» Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour said. «He's got a great release and guys are finding him and he's making the best of it.»

The 27-year-old forward spoke out about the growing chemistry an immediate impact his new line is having with the team as he has been sided alongside Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov.

«Obviously, two unbelievable players and I'm grateful to be out there playing with those guys and trying to bring an extra weapon, get open and be available for them when they need to make a nice play,» Roslovic said.

Roslovic was chosen by the Winnipeg Jets in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, in the first round 25th overall. He has played 44 NHL organisations throughout his career which began in 2016 with The Jets and have had stops with the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Rangers and now the Hurricanes. He's played 458 games, scored 89 goals with 142 assists for 231 points.

He was traded to the Rangers last year from the Blue Jackets in exchange for a draft pick. The Rangers will be on the road to face off against the Hurricanes in their first matchup since last year's playoffs which will take place on November 27th. It will be the first time that Roslovic will face off against his old team.
