As we continue our New York Rangers report cards we come to John Gilmour who played only five games for the the varsity. He’s another player who seemed to warrant a better chance of making the team, but ended up barely contributing.
His season
John Gilmour’s NHL season is hardly worth talking about. He was called up from Hartford in late March, played in five games and was scoreless. He showed his speed and skating ability, but was a minus three in those five games and appears destined to be an ex-Ranger next season.
Although his season was short, in the Rangers’ 2-1 overtime win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on March 23, he was credited with seven blocked shots.
