There’s no doubt that Brett Berard’s been on a rollercoaster ride the past few months. But after considerable ups and down, the 23-year-old forward is back in the NHL, ready for his season debut Monday for the New York Rangers against the St. Louis Blues.
Berard explained that being among the final cuts at training camp “stinks” and was a setback for him. Especially after he entered Rangers camp among the contenders to earn a bottom-six role.
“Getting sent down from camp that late kind of stinks,” Berard said after the morning skate Monday.
