Adds insurance tally in win Berard scored a goal on five shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.

Impact This was Berard's first NHL game since Jan. 9 versus the Devils, following his call-up from AHL Hartford on Saturday. The 22-year-old slotted into a fourth line role while Reilly Smith sat out for roster-management purposes. Berard could stick in the NHL for the rest of the campaign if the Rangers go for a full fire sale at forward. He's done fine for a rookie with eight points, 37 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-8 rating over 20 NHL appearances this season.

Up from AHL Berard was called up from AHL Hartford on Saturday.

Impact Berard has nine goals, 23 points and 43 PIM in 30 outings with Hartford in 2024-25. He also has three goals, seven points, eight PIM and 27 hits across 19 appearances with New York. Chris Kreider (upper body) was put on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Sent down to AHL Hartford Berard was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Friday.

Impact Berard has seven points through 19 outings while filling a bottom-six role at the NHL level. It's unclear if this is a paper move or a more permanent change for the Rangers to allow the 22-year-old some development work. Benoit-Olivier Groulx was recalled in a corresponding move.

Notches two apples in Chicago Berard collected a pair of helpers in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Berard recorded secondary assists on Filip Chytil's two markers in the win. This was Berard's first multi-point performance of his NHL career. The 22-year-old has accounted for three goals, four assists, eight PIM, 31 shots on net, nine blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-7 rating through 17 appearances. Berard is unlikely to be much of a fantasy factor unless his 11:33 of average ice time increases over the course of the season.

Pots game-winner Thursday Berard scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 2-1 victory over the Bruins.

Impact The rookie kept the puck on a 2-on-1 rush and ripped it past Jeremy Swayman midway through the first period, giving the Rangers a 2-0 lead. It was Berard's first career GWG, but his bottom-six role doesn't afford him many opportunities to get onto the scoresheet -- over 11 games since returning from an upper-body injury, he's managed two goals and three points with 19 hits, 18 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-7 rating.

Supplies assist in loss Berard logged an assist, two PIM and a minus-3 rating in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Berard managed two points over 10 appearances in December while filling a bottom-six role most of the time. The 22-year-old forward is up to four points, 26 shots on net, 21 hits and a minus-9 rating through 14 outings this season. He's done enough to stay in the lineup most of the time, leaving Jonny Brodzinski as a healthy scratch, but Berard's offense has been too limited to make him an option for most fantasy managers.

Pots goal Sunday Berard scored a goal on five shots and added four hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

Impact The goal was Berard's first point in four games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 22-year-old winger played alongside Mika Zibanejad and Jimmy Vesey amid a massive lineup shuffle by head coach Peter Laviolette, though the trio accounted for three of the four lowest ice-time totals among the Rangers' forwards. Regardless of future changes, Berard is likely to spend most of his time in the bottom six. He has three points, 17 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating over his first eight NHL appearances.

Set to play versus Hawks Berard (upper body) is poised to return to the lineup versus Chicago on Monday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Impact Berard will be back in action for the first time since Nov. 30 versus the Canadiens, a stretch of three games on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. In his limited NHL outings this year (four games), the 22-year-old winger has logged 12:33 of ice time per game while notching one goal, one assist and nine shots. Look for Berard to slot into a bottom-six role with his injury concern behind him -- though he's far from a lock to keep that spot ahead of both Jimmy Vesey and Jonny Brodzinski.

Out Sunday Berard (upper body) won't play Sunday against Seattle, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

Impact Berard will miss a third straight game while tending to an upper-body injury. The rookie winger appeared in four games with the Rangers, picking up a goal and an assist. Jimmy Vesey will remain in the lineup Sunday on New York's fourth line.

Sporting non-contact jersey Berard (upper body) practiced in a non-contact sweater Tuesday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Impact The Rangers don't play until Friday's matchup with Pittsburgh, so Berard could still be cleared for contact prior to that contest. In his four NHL games this year, the 22-year-old winger has managed one goal on nine shots, one assist and five hits while averaging 12:33 of ice time. If Berard can't play Friday, Jimmy Vesey looks set to take his spot in the lineup -- though Jonny Brodzinski should also be in contention.

Won't play Monday Berard is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury and won't play Monday against New Jersey, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Impact Berard didn't practice Monday due to his upper-body injury, and he'll be sidelined after appearing in the Rangers' last four games. The 22-year-old has had decent production over his limited sample in the NHL, posting a goal and an assist while averaging 12:33 of ice time. His next opportunity to suit up will be Friday against Pittsburgh.

Earns assist in NHL debut Berard notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Blues.

Impact Berard made his NHL debut Monday and quickly earned his first point on a second-period tally by Will Cuylle. With 13 points over 16 games for AHL Hartford this season, there's no questioning Berard's scoring chops. The 22-year-old winger could get a look in the Rangers' lineup as long as Filip Chytil and Chris Kreider are out with their respective upper-body injuries.

Joining Wolf Pack Berard was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Monday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

Impact Berard should be high on the list of potential call-ups throughout the upcoming campaign and could even be brought back before Opening Night against Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Even if the 22-year-old winger doesn't play right away, he should get minutes at some point during the year and could be an intriguing option to monitor in dynasty formats.
