Rangers Recall Top Prospect Gabe Perreault to Bolster Struggling Offense

New York turns to its top scorer in Hartford after a fifth home shutout left the team with the NHL’s lowest goal total.

Overview

  • The team announced on Nov. 9 that Gabe Perreault was recalled from AHL Hartford and Jaroslav Chmelar was assigned back.
  • Perreault leads the Wolf Pack with 10 points in nine games and recently earned AHL Player of the Week honors.
  • The Rangers have 35 goals in 16 games with five home shutouts, starting 0-6-1 at Madison Square Garden and 7-1-1 on the road.
  • Perreault missed weekend AHL action with an upper-body issue, and reports note his usage and call-up length could hinge on Vincent Trocheck’s potential LTIR return.
  • Chmelar logged two NHL games without a point, including a fight in his debut, as New York now prepares for a home game against Nashville.
