The New York Rangers hope that calling up their best prospect, forward Gabe Perreault, from Hartford of the American Hockey League on Sunday will give a boost to their struggling offense and help them end a historically bad start at Madison Square Garden.
Perreault figures to be in the lineup Monday night when the Rangers host the Nashville Predators, as they look for answers to a home start that’s been fueled by an inability to put the puck in the net. Saturday’s 5-0 loss to the New York Islanders dropped the Blueshirts to 0-6-1 at Madison Square Garden.
