Gabe Perreault and Scott Morrow won’t begin the 2025-26 season in the NHL with the New York Rangers. Arguably their two best prospects were assigned to Hartford of the American Hockey League on Friday, one day before New York’s preseason finale against the Boston Bruins.
Each youngster impressed Mike Sullivan and the Rangers coaching staff during training camp. But it was always going to be difficult for either player to crack the opening-night lineup considering how deep the veteran Rangers roster is.
Perreault played all five preseason games to date and leads the Rangers with two goals.
