Two years after he left the New York Rangers and three years after he last played at the NHL level, Ryan Malone is back on the ice.
The 37-year-old forward has landed a professional tryout with the Minnesota Wild in hopes of either reviving his NHL career or landing an American Hockey League contract, according to the Star Tribune.
As Michael Russo of the Tribune noted, Malone could very well be eyeing the AHL deal so he would be eligible to suit up for Team USA in the 2018 Winter Olympics -- an event NHL players have repeatedly been told they cannot attend.
