"The Neutral Zone" Roster Report

New York Rangers General Manager Jeff Gorton announced today that the team has recalled forward Jayson Megna from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL).

Megna, 25, has skated in 34 games with the Wolf Pack this season, registering seven goals and 11 assists for 18 points, along with 12 penalty minutes. He leads Hartford in shots on goal (110), ranks second in points, is tied for third in assists, and is tied for fourth in goals in 2015-16.

"The Neutral Zone" Roster Update

The New York Rangers have sent Jayson Megna back down to the American Hockey League today. 

We originally speculated yesterday Jeff Gorton called him up to be the long-term 13th forward thanks to the Derek Stepan injury, but that’s obviously not the case. 

Apparently an unknown Rangers forward was day-to-day yesterday and Megna was brought up in case he couldn’t go.

Megna was extremely impressive during the preseason earlier on in September, and as a result, he made it all the way up until the final roster cut. Since being sent down, Megna has appeared in 21 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack, where he has totaled 5 goals, 7 assists, and 12 points.
