Julien Gauthier should be nearing a return after being placed on IR January 15. Does this spell an end for Sammy Blais’ time with the New York Rangers?
A stint on the IR list requires a player to sit for a minimum of seven days, so Gauthier will be eligible to return for Monday’s contest against the Florida Panthers. According to Vince Mercogliano, Gauthier was a participant at Saturday’s open practice at Madison Square Garden held for fans to attend.
What will the Rangers do when the time comes for Gauthier to lace them up for regular-season action?
