On today’s daily waiver wire, we see a few familiar faces. The New York Rangers have made the decision to place Ryan Carpenter on waivers.

With Carpenter on waivers, and Reaves playing for a different team, this highlights a very different fourth line than the team started the season with. Carpenter was added as a supplemental fourth line player who could actually skate and play the game of hockey, but was quickly replaced by a variety of other lineups preferred by Gallant.
