Peter Laviolette clears the air and reveals reasoning behind sending Brett Berard down to the AHL
New York Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette clears the air and reveals why the Rangers assigned Brett Berard to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League.
The New Rangers have recently made a shocking move by sending rookie forward Brett Berard down to the Hartford Wolf Pack and recalling Bo Groulx to the New York Rangers.
This roster transaction created a ton of confusion and questions from Rangers fans and many alike. However, here's what Peter Laviolette had to say on the matter:
#NYR� head coach Peter Laviolette on reasoning for Bo Groulx call-up:
«With Fil not being available tonight, just to have another center on the road trip. Just to make sure that we're covered while we're on the west coast and wanted to make sure we had depth at center.»
Laviolette may have explained the reasoning behind giving Groulx a chance, but he never explained why Brett Berard was sent down to the Hartford Wolf Pack.
Brett Berard has been a very solid forward for the Rangers since joining the roster back in November and has given the team a much-needed spark.
«It was super special - kind of lost control of my body. Some of the guys were giving me some crap for it, but yeah I don't know it was super special feeling kind of everything you dream of as a kid. It was awesome.»

Throughout the 22-year olds time with the New York Rangers Brett Berard has managed to tally three goals, four assists for a total of seven points in just 19 games, while averaging 11:20 minutes of ice time.
