The Rangers have made their next round of cuts, returning five players to the Hartford Wolf Pack: Connor Brickley, Sean Day, Tim Gettinger, Nick Jones, and Dawson Leedahl. None of these five being cut, or even the timing, should come as a surprise.
There are now 36 players left in camp:
Forwards (20): Lias Andersson, Pavel Buchnevich, Filip Chytil, Phillip Di Giuseppe, Jesper Fast, Steven Fogarty, Micheal Haley, Brett Howden, Kaapo Kakko, Vitali Kravtsov, Chris Kreider, Brendan Lemieux, Vinni Lettieri, Greg McKegg, Vladislav Namestnikov, Boo Nieves, Danny O’Regan, Artemi Panarin, Ryan Strome, Mika Zibanejad
Defensemen (12): Tony DeAngelo, Adam Fox, Libor Hajek, Ryan Lindgren, Joe Morrow, Tarmo Reunanen, Matthew Robertson, Yegor Rykov, Brady Skjei, Brendan Smith, Marc Staal, Jacob Trouba
Goaltenders (4): Alexandar Georgiev, Adam Huska, Henrik Lundqvist, Igor Shesterkin
Of the players left in camp, the biggest surprises to me are Danny O’Regan and Matt Robertson.
