The New York Rangers have assigned goaltender Igor Shesterkin and forward Phillip Di Giuseppe to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL on Tuesday night.
The move comes at a time when the Rangers will have no games until Friday, Jan. 31 at the Garden against the Detroit Red Wings. The team has the NHL All-Star break this weekend and their mandated bye week.
The combination of these two events will keep the team from playing a regulation game for the next 10 days.
Shesterkin played in three games for the Blueshirts, compiling a 2-1 record.
