The New York Rangers have recalled defenseman Joey Keane from the AHL Hartford Wolf Pack.
This is the first time the Blueshirts have called up the 20-year-old. In 48 games for the Wolf Pack, Keane has recorded eight goals, 20 assists, and 30 penalty minutes. He was selected to the AHL All-Star Challenge last month.
Keane is ranked 13th in points and tied for sixth in goals when it comes to AHL defensemen.
New York selected the Chicago native in the third round (No. 88 overall) of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.
The Rangers didn’t have a morning skate on Friday, so the official reason for the recall is unclear.
