The New York Rangers called up Brennan Othmann, one of the top prospects in the organization, to have an extra forward available in case veteran Chris Kreider is unable to play Tuesday night against the Islanders because of injury.
The team announced Monday it recalled Othmann from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League as part of a series of roster moves.
Othmann, 22, was the Rangers' first-round pick in 2021 and has 12 goals and eight assists in 27 games in the minors this season. He is still looking for his first NHL point after skating in his first three games in the league Jan.
