GREENBURGH, N.Y. — The remaining Rangers returned to the ice on Tuesday for a practice in advance of Wednesday’s home game against Tampa Bay.
Gone from the team were Mats Zuccarello, Kevin Hayes and Adam McQuaid, all of whom were dealt for young players and draft picks before Monday’s trade deadline.
The lone new face wasn’t a familiar face— but he had a familiar last name. Brendan Lemieux, son of former NHL star Claude Lemieux, was all smiles after his first practice with his new team.
Lemieux, 22, came over from Winnipeg on Monday along with a first-round pick and a conditional fourth-round pick for Hayes.
