Sammy Blais’ recent injury could weigh in on the club’s final decisions.
, who was fined $5,000, the maximum allowed under the collective bargaining agreement, Sunday morning for charging Vincent Trocheck. The Rangers said the winger suffered an upper-body injury after only logging 3:22 of ice time. “They’ll evaluate him tonight and tomorrow,” head coach Gerard Gallant said. “He should be fine.” There is a scenario in which Blais, who missed a majority of last season with an ACL tear, could be put on injured reserve to start the season.
Even if Blais is ultimately good to go, the Rangers’ decisions on the final forwards are going to be a numbers game, as Gallant put it early on in training camp. Vitali Kravtsov, who didn’t play in the last preseason game and is still noticeably adjusting to the NHL,. Since he would have to pass through waivers to be assigned to AHL Hartford, the Rangers likely don’t want to risk losing their 2018 ninth-overall pick for nothing.
After Jimmy Vesey traded in his professional tryout for a one-year deal on Sunday, that leaves Dryden Hunt as the odd forward out. But since the Rangers didn’t put Hunt on waivers, there might be another move in the works, such as Blais to IR. Julien Gauthier was waived on Sunday, according to CapFriendly, and will likely be assigned to AHL Hartford if he clears.
