Buffalo claimed two former Rangers off waivers, Zac Jones and Jake Leschyshyn, while Alex Belzile surfaced on waivers to Laval after signing with Montreal. Jones, a puck-moving defenseman, showed flashes last season but struggled for consistent ice time in New York. Leschyshyn, Curtis Leschyshyn’s son, posted 24 points in Hartford last year before landing with Buffalo. Other notable waivers included Hudson Fasching, Brendan Gaunce and Kole Lind, highlighting a broader churn at depth in the league.

The New York Rangers have made a surprising move by recalling defenseman Victor Mancini, despite no prior injury announcements. This decision follows the confirmation of Jake Leschyshyn's return to Hartford as Filip Chytil is set to rejoin the lineup.

Speculation surrounds Mancini's recall, with three potential scenarios: Zac Jones being benched, Chad Ruhwedel's uncertain status, or a possible injury to Ryan Lindgren. The latter seems the most plausible as the team prepares for their upcoming game in Edmonton.

The New York Rangers received positive news regarding Filip Chytil, who will not miss additional time due to a concussion. After consulting with specialists, he is set to join the team in Calgary, potentially marking the end of his absence during this trip.

Jonny Brodzinski has been a reliable substitute in Chytil's absence, but the return of Chytil will restore crucial depth to the Rangers' lineup, enhancing their performance as they prepare for upcoming games.

The New York Rangers have recalled Matt Rempe from their AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, after a brief stint where he played only two games. Rempe's return follows a loss to the Florida Panthers, during which he did not participate. The Rangers aim to bolster their roster as they prepare for an upcoming game against the Washington Capitals.

In a corresponding move, Jake Leschyshyn has been sent down to Hartford. Both players are young talents, with Rempe expected to gain valuable experience through more ice time.
