The New York Rangers have recalled center Glenn Gawdin and placed rookie defenseman and fifth overall pick Alberts Smits on IR with an upper body injury. It was noted yesterday that Smits was week to week with his injury, so placing him on IR was inevitable, as it opened a roster spot for the Rangers to recall the center. Gawdin, a 29 year old career AHLer with just 13 NHL games of experience, is likely just a spare body as the Rangers finish up the road trip.
To have space to recall Glenn Gawdin, the Rangers placed Smits on IR, joining Sean Durzi as one-third of the New York Rangers defense to start the season is now hurt. The injury bug is in full swing, impacting the Rangers both on and off the ice. Hopefully this all clears up by the holidays.
