The two recently signed Rangers draft picks have hit the ground running as they start their pro careers.
With their senior seasons coming to an end at the NCAA Frozen Four Tournament, Boo Nieves (2012 second round) and Steve Fogarty (2011 third round) signed entry-level contracts with the Rangers and made the jump to the pros. Ken Gernander, head coach in Hartford, wasted no time and put them into the lineup immediately. Both made their debuts Friday night and had some good moments. In fact, each registered a primary assist in Hartford's 5-1 win.
Nieves' assist came in the second period and gave Hartford a 2-0 lead.
