The New York Rangers have recalled forward Boo Nieves and goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, the team announced Sunday afternoon.
Nieves, 25, was originally sent down to the Hartford Wolf Pack on January 19th following the Rangers’ 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins, which was the team’s final contest before their mandatory bye week, which coincided with the NHL’s All-Star break.
Georgiev, 22, was sent down the day prior, with Marek Mazanec serving as the club’s backup against the Bruins.
For both men — neither of whom required waivers — the assignments were effectively paper transactions designed to keep them playing through the break.
