The New York Rangers have made a surprising move by recalling defenseman Victor Mancini, despite no prior injury announcements. This decision follows the confirmation of Jake Leschyshyn's return to Hartford as Filip Chytil is set to rejoin the lineup.

Speculation surrounds Mancini's recall, with three potential scenarios: Zac Jones being benched, Chad Ruhwedel's uncertain status, or a possible injury to Ryan Lindgren. The latter seems the most plausible as the team prepares for their upcoming game in Edmonton.
