Stoll, 33, gives the Rangers a top face-off man and penalty killer. He has played in 792 N.H.L. games over parts of 12 seasons with Edmonton and Los Angeles, with 140 goals and 239 assists.
Stoll has won 55.4 percent of faceoffs in his career, and he has posted a face-off win percentage of 51 percent or higher in every season. He has led his team in face-off win percentage in nine consecutive seasons.
