by New York Rangers @NYRangers / NYRangers.com
New York Rangers General Manager Jeff Gorton announced today that the team has assigned Vinni Lettieri to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL).
Lettieri has skated in 14 games with the Rangers this season. He recorded 36 points (23 goals, 13 assists) in 55 AHL games with the Wolf Pack last season. Lettieri led Hartford in goals last season, and he was also tied for fifth among AHL rookies in goals in 2017-18.
Rangers Recall Steven Fogarty From Hartford
by New York Rangers @NYRangers / NYRangers.com
Fogarty, 25, has skated in 19 games with the Wolf Pack this season, registering seven goals and seven assists for 14 points, along with 16 penalty minutes. He is tied for the team lead in goals, ranks second on the team in points and power play goals (three), and is tied for fourth on the team in shots on goal (38) this season. Fogarty has recorded a point in six of the last 11 games with the Wolf Pack, registering eight points (four goals, four assists) over the span, and he has tallied at least one point in 11 of 19 games this season.
The 6-3, 210-pounder has skated in 151 career AHL games over parts of four seasons (2015-16 - 2018-19), all with the Wolf Pack, registering 23 goals and 32 assists for 55 points, along with 59 penalty minutes. Fogarty has skated in one NHL game in his career, as he made his NHL debut with the Rangers on Apr. 7, 2018 at Philadelphia.
The Chambersburg, Pennsylvania native was selected by the Rangers in the third round, 72nd overall, of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Expected. After around the 20 game mark, teams look at their rosters and make any needed changes they might want. Spooner lost his spot, enter Strome, Lettieri lost his spot, Forgerty, hottest forward in Hartford, gets the recall and his shot. Smith could be next as the Rangers have 8 Dmen and need to open up spots for kids like Hajak and Lindgren in Hartford (this is a rebuild season for kids/prospects, right?).
