Rangers recall forward, goaltender to fortify playoff roster

Several teams have made roster moves today to add some extra depth for the playoffs.  The Rangers are the latest to have done so, announcing the recalls of forward Adam Edstrom and goaltender Louis Domingue from AHL Hartford.

Edstrom is in the second season of his entry-level contract and got his first taste of NHL action this season, getting into 11 games with New York.  The 23-year-old picked up two goals while adding 30 hits on the fourth line, averaging just 8:25 per game.  He had a more prominent role with the Wolf Pack, however, resulting in more production as Edstrom had 11 goals and five assists in 40 appearances in the minors.  He’ll serve as an extra forward to start their series against Washington.

As for Domingue, the netminder won his lone NHL start this season back in November but has spent the rest of the year with Hartford.  Through 28 appearances, he has a 2.66 GAA and a .909 SV% while also scoring a goal last Friday.  The 32-year-old signed a one-year extension back in March and will now serve as New York’s third-string option for the postseason, a role he’ll likely reprise next year as well.
