Some less-than-ideal news just hit the wire. The New York Rangers have placed Pavel Buchnevich, Adam Fox, and Phil Di Giusseppe on the COVID list. In related news, the Blueshirts have recalled Finnish defenseman Tarmo Reunanen from the Hartford Wolf Pack.
So, yeah, there’s a lot to unpack here.
Obviously, the news about Fox, Buchnevich, and PDG is far from good but the right thing to do here is to wait and see what happens. This is unfortunately a process that the Rangers have become familiar with — on two separate occasions with Kaapo Kakko alone — and they aren’t alone.
