There seems little doubt that with more than a third of the 2025-26 season in the books, the New York Rangers’ scoring woes aren’t simply going to disappear.
With a 16-15-4 record, and locked in an extremely crowded battle for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, are in desperate need of an offensive jolt. Their best option – and perhaps the only realistic one at this time – resided in Hartford in the form of top prospect Gabe Perreault.
The Rangers pulled the trigger on that option Wednesday, calling up Perreault and fellow first-round draft pick Brennan Othmann from the American Hockey League.
