Brett Berard was a recent call-up from the Hartford Wolfpack and has found a spot on the New York Rangers lineup. His playing style has gelled with the team and he hasn't gotten tired of playing in Madison Square Garden since.
Brett Berard is a prospect who was called up by the New York Rangers on November 24th and has been a mainstay in the lineup since.
While Berard hasn't been an elite player, he has tools that the Rangers are a fan of, including speed, and physicality.
He's a spark on the team every night, and has made the NHL after being a Fifth-round pick, he's always grinding and plays like a power-forward.
Qualities a GM and Head Coach could love!
He has played 14 games in the NHL, and with each game, his confidence is blooming.
«I think as each game goes by you grow a little bit more confident,» Berard said. «It obviously stinks losing, so it's hard to get that confidence. I think individually, I think it's coming, it's coming along. The game is starting to slow down a little bit, starting to feel more comfortable out there.»
Berard has found a home on the Rangers lineup with Filip Chytil, and Will Cuylle, and has been rewarded with Peter Laviolette's trust.
While he feels that the duo he plays with has given his game, another inch up on the competition.
«I think it's been going great,» Berard said about his line with Cuylle and Chytil. «I think we were pretty good, I think we were generating offense.
«I think we can be a super good line together. They are super easy to play with, hard to play against. I think we are all pretty fast guys, we are all super competitive. They've been awesome. It's been super easy to fit in with them. It's been great.»
Berard doesn't take his opportunity with the Rangers lightly, and could be a Ranger for years and years, if he continues to play his cards right.
«I think the biggest thing I've learned is to not take any day for granted,» Berard said. «Been working my whole life for this. I've been playing hockey since I was three years old to get to this moment, so that's something I'm trying to take in and I don't know if it's hit to the fullest extent yet.
«It's awesome, just trying to take it day-by-day, recover the best I can to be ready for the next game, next practice because I might only get one shot at this. You want to make every day like it's your last day. Every day is a first impression to the coaches and your teammates. It's a blessing to be here, so trying to enjoy it.»

With 14 games played this season on the Rangers 3rd-line he's scored 4 points( 2 G, 2 A) and could grow into a better player as his time in the NHL progresses.
