The Rangers locked up a second restricted free agent on Wednesday when they reached agreement on a one-year contract with forward Vinni Lettieri.
Lettieri, 24, is a 5-11, 194-pound right wing who will be entering his third pro season, having split time with the Rangers and their AHL Hartford farm team in each of the first two. He made the parent club last year out of training camp, but struggled to score from a fourth-line role and eventually was sent down. He went up and down all season and ended up playing 27 games with the Rangers, scoring one goal with two assists and 14 penalty minutes.
