Today New York Rangers announced a change to their taxi squad before departing for the West Coast.
With Ryan Lindgren healthy, it makes sense that the Rangers essentially added someone new to their taxi squad that’s only going to play in the event there’s a real emergency.
Matthew Robertson hasn’t appeared in any NHL game action to date, and being sent down to allows him to prepare for Hartford’s slate of games this weekend on Friday, January 7, and Saturday, January 8. The move also stops the clock on his remaining taxi squad eligibility, and starts up Tarmo Reunanen’s.
