Just one week after the Rangers recalled Vinni Lettieri, he has been sent back to Hartford. He played in two games of a possible four in that stretch, and is still scoreless for the season.
Coach David Quinn opted for a lineup of 11 forwards and 7 defensemen in the last two games, which meant Lettieri was in the pressbox. Whenever a coach opts for an 11F/7D roster over a healthy young forward, it isn’t a good thing.
