The New York Rangers organization has just announced a series of roster transaction following some unfortunate injury news that surfaced moments before their game on Sunday night.
Sunday night the New York Rangers were facing off against the Pittsburgh Penguins. However, moments before the game it was announced that veteran forward Chris Kreider was not going to play due to an upper-body injury and has been listed day-to-day.
UPDATE: Chris Kreider (upper body, day-to-day) will not play today.
Which has resulted in the New York Rangers to make several roster transactions to make sure their roster is full.
New York Rangers recall two players from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL
Following the unfortunate injury news, General Manager Chris Drury and the New York Rangers announced that forward Brennan Othmann and defenseman Zac Jones have been recalled to the Rangers.
UPDATE: Zac Jones (conditioning) and Brennan Othmann have been recalled from the Hartford Wolf Pack. Matthew Robertson has been assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack.
It was revealed that Othmann was recalled just for precautionary measures for Chris Kreider. But it still remains unknown why Jones was recalled considering he was just sent to the AHL for a conditioning loan.
The New York Rangers play their next game on Tuesday, against the New York Islanders at 7:30PM so it will be interesting to see who will be in the lineup and who won't be, but only time will tell.
