The Rangers’ roster is the land where dreams come true for young hockey players, a parade of whom have made their NHL debuts over the past two years as the rebuild continues.
Next up: Morgan Barron, the 6-4, 220-pound forward out of Cornell who likely will see his first NHL action when the Rangers visit the Islanders on Saturday night.
The evening would have been an NHL debut two-fer had not defenseman Tarmo Reunanen – called up from AHL Hartford along with Barron on Friday – played in one game as a Ranger on March 15.
