The New York Rangers pared their roster by 13 players on Saturday, leaving 48 remaining as they prepare for their preseason opener against the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center on Sunday afternoon.
Eight of the 13 players cut from the camp roster are headed for training camp with the Hartford Wolf Pack, the Rangers’ affiliate in the American Hockey League. The most notable were goaltenders Hugo Ollas and Callum Tung, who split the two rookie games the Rangers played against the Philadelphia Flyers’ rookies in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The Blueshirts lost 4-3 in overtime with Ollas in goal on Friday, then won 5-2 with Tung in net the next night.
