Vancouver Canucks vs. New York Rangers - News - December 16, 2025 | FOX Sports

Jaroslav Chmelar - Demoted to minors Chmelar was sent down to AHL Hartford on Wednesday.

Impact Chmelar has appeared in six games for the Rangers this season in which he has failed to generate any points while posting 13 hits, three shots and seven PIM. Along with Chmelar, the Rangers also returned Brett Berard to the minors while bringing up Brennan Othmann and Gabe Perreault in corresponding moves.

Conor Garland - Fills empty cage Garland scored a shorthanded empty-net goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.

Impact Garland has four points over his last three games, and all of that production has come in special-teams situations. Prior to this stretch, he had earned just two even-strength points in an eight-game span that also saw him miss three contests due to injuries. For the season, the veteran winger has seven goals, 19 points, 68 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 27 appearances. He remains on track to top the 50-point mark for the third time in his career.

Evander Kane - Scores early Tuesday Kane scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.

Impact Kane had been limited to one helper over his previous five appearances. The 34-year-old's goal at 1:46 of the first period was ultimately all the Canucks needed in this victory. The winger has six goals, 16 points, 80 shots on net, 57 hits, 44 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 32 appearances this season. Kane should continue to see middle-six usage for now, though he may get a bump in ice time once Elias Pettersson (upper body) returns if that leads to a shuffle in the lineup.

Brett Berard - Sent down by Rangers Berard was assigned to AHL Hartford on Wednesday.

Impact Berard was recalled by the Rangers in late November, and he saw consistent time in the lineup during his time with the NHL club. He appeared in 11 games and was held without a point while logging 15 hits, nine blocked shots and six PIM. The 23-year-old should have ample opportunities to contribute for Hartford, while Brennan Othmann and Gabe Perreault were called up Wednesday.

Gabe Perreault - Called up Wednesday Perreault was recalled from AHL Hartford on Wednesday.

Impact Perreault has made three regular-season appearances for the Rangers this year, recording an assist, four blocked shots and a hit while averaging 13:09 of ice time. He's been efficient in the minors, racking up 10 goals, seven assists, 14 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 20 appearances with the Wolf Pack, and he'll provide additional depth for the Rangers after Brett Berard and Jaroslav Chmelar were assigned to Hartford on Wednesday.

Brennan Othmann - Recalled from AHL Othmann was recalled from AHL Hartford on Wednesday.

Impact Othmann was sent down by the Rangers on Dec. 6, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after spending the past week and a half in the minors. He's made just one regular-season appearance in the NHL this year, logging two hits and a minus-1 rating in 12:31 of ice time in a loss to Calgary on Oct. 26. Othmann and Gabe Perreault will provide additional depth for the Rangers after Brett Berard and Jaroslav Chmelar were sent down Wednesday.
