The New York Rangers announced on Sunday that they have assigned five players — Jonny Brodzinski, Tim Gettinger, Anthony Greco, Zac Jones, and Tarmo Reunanen — to their AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack.
Each player had previously been on the club’s taxi squad, with Brodzinski, Gettinger, and Jones having been added there only a few days ago, on Jan. 20. With the Rangers having a back-to-back set this past Friday and Saturday, perhaps they just wanted some insurance. They do play again on Monday against the Los Angeles Kings at Madison Square Garden, but then are off until Thursday, Jan.
