The move to jettison defenseman Tony DeAngelo from the team earlier in the week has obviously forced the Rangers to reshape their defensive corps. But in a way, the move may end up changing things in the goaltending department, too.
DeAngelo was placed on waivers Sunday after reportedly getting into a fight with goaltender Alexandar Georgiev following Saturday’s overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. He cleared waivers.
DeAngelo had been previously been warned by general manager Jeff Gorton, who said to reporters on Monday: "I told [DeAngelo] if his name came up in anything at all that he would be on waivers," Gorton said.
