New York Rangers send down Zac Jones

The NHL temporarily implemented taxi squads to deal with COVID-19 issues coming out of the holiday break in December. That comes to an end this weekend and the Rangers have already made some moves.

On Wednesday, they assigned forwards Jonny Brodzinski and Morgan Barron, defenseman Nils Lundkvist, and goaltender Adam Húska to the Hartford Wolf Pack. That should give everyone a clear indication of where Nils currently stands on the depth chart.

Today’s announcement likely means that Patrik Nemeth should be returning to the team after the break. Here are the defenseman still up with the team:

• Adam Fox
• Ryan Lindgren
• Jacob Trouba
• K’Andre Miller
• Braden Schneider
• Libor Hajek
• Patrik Nemeth
• Jarred Tinordi

New York has been carrying 8 defensemen all season to this point.

Jones, 21, has one assist in six games this season and five assists in 16 career games dating back to 2020-21.
