New York Rangers players have been away from hockey since their Jan. 19 game in Boston (a 5-2 win). The players all went their own way from Sweden to Puerto Rico to San Jose, all in the effort of recharging those batteries.
Goalie Alexander Georgiev was sent to Hartford to keep his skills sharp.
This should in no way be considered a break in any way. The Hartford Wolf Pack are a team mired in their own struggles too and not even the stellar play of Georgiev could help them find a win.
