After being a healthy scratch in the last two games, Vinni Lettieri has been sent back down to the Hartford Wolf Pack in the AHL.
Lettieri skated 7:12 TOI against the Boston Bruins on Feb. 6 and 5:51 TOI against the Carolina Hurricanes on Feb. 8. Given how little ice time he saw, it’s unsurprising that he was able to make much of an impression. In the Rangers last two games, David Quinn opted to dress seven defensemen at the expense of getting the undrafted 24-year-old forward some more NHL ice time.
