The New York Rangers have signed free agent goaltender Chris Nell, the Rangers announced.
Nell, 22, had just completed his junior season with Bowling Green State University, posting a .916 save percentage in 34 games. Here is what SBN College Hockey wrote about Nell last March:
The Falcons already have one former free agent goalie starting in the NHL in Andrew Hammond, and Nell could be next. Nell is only listed at 6'1" but he has a lanky frame and positions aggressively, allowing him to cover a lot of net and really cut down on angles.
