With the Rangers’ bye week officially coming to a close tomorrow night, it appears as if they will finally be getting some injury relief up front. As per the AHL transactions page, the New York Rangers have recalled Pavel Buchnevich after his three game conditioning stint with the Hartford Wolf Pack. This likely signals the much anticipated return of the 21-year-old rookie, after he missed exactly two months with back complications.
His last game in action dated back to November 12 against the Calgary Flames, where he registered a goal in the Rangers 4-1 win. During Buchnevich’s three game stay in Hartford, he registered a goal in his opening game against Lehigh Valley, and finished off with an assist last night against Rochester.
