If Tyler Motte is still unavailable with an upper-body injury, the Rangers should be allowed to call up a forward on an emergency basis for Thursday’s game.
Since the Rangers had enough cap space to make a regular recall before they traded for Patrick Kane, the NHL evidently felt the team had willingly used up all its salary cap space by addressing its roster emergency with the former Blackhawks star.The possible head injury Motte sustained on a dirty hit from Ottawa’s Austin Watson then put the Rangers down two players for the game in Boston on Saturday.
Of the eligible forwards, who have to come with a cap hit of $850,000 or less, to be recalled from AHL Hartford, Jonny Brodzinski would probably be the safest bet. Since the Rangers are nearing the end of the regular season and gearing up for playoff hockey, they likely don’t want to be throwing an inexperienced player into the lineup.
Carpenter has played just one game on the wing for the Rangers since the former Flame signed with the club as a free agent this past summer.The 29-year-old also saw a good amount of time on the wing last season, as well.
