The New York Rangers have recalled center Cristoval “Boo” Nieves from the Hartford Wolf Pack and have sent rookie forward Tim Gettinger back down to the club’s AHL affiliate. Veteran forward Greg McKegg left last night’s game with an apparent lower-body injury.
Gettinger put three shots on net in his season debut against the Washington Capitals on Nov. 20 and earned an assist against the Ottawa Senators on Nov. 22. He did not dress in the Rangers’ 6-5 comeback win over the Montreal Canadiens. In his two games with the Rangers, he averaged 8:23 TOI/GP.
