According to Vince Z. Mercogliano, the New York Rangers are allowed to open up the team facility for Phase 2 of the NHL’s “Return To Play” on Monday, but Tuesday is more likely for the reopening.
Mercogliano also notes that the Rangers are not rushing players back to the area. The players who are going to participate in the small group activities are likely to be players who stayed local during the shutdown. Players from Europe and Canada are not expected back so soon.
As the Rangers continue to ramp up for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, they are preparing for a familiar foe—the Carolina Hurricanes.
