Overview

  • The Rangers announced the recall of forward Brennan Othmann from AHL Hartford on Friday.
  • The move ensures a healthy extra forward while Matt Rempe is out with an upper-body injury that head coach Mike Sullivan said is being evaluated.
  • Rempe was injured during a fight with the Sharks’ Ryan Reaves on Thursday night.
  • No corresponding transaction was needed because an open roster spot existed after defenseman Scott Morrow was sent to Hartford earlier this week.
  • Reports continue to link Othmann to trade talks, with Elliotte Friedman saying New York has asked for good AHL prospects in return, as the pending RFA has one assist in four AHL games this season and two NHL assists in 25 career games.
