According to the AHL transactions page, the
New York Rangers have sent forward Kris Newbury back to the Connecticut Whale
today. The move was expected as Newbury
was called up to take the place of the hurting Wojtek Wolski, but Wolski was
able to play last night, which left Newbury as a healthy scratch. In the end it was a tough break for Newbury, but I would take him being the first recall
this time as a sign that if any injuries happen in the near future, ie before
Fedotenko returns, it will once again be Newbury who comes up. That can always change depending on which
player is hurt and the role they need a callup to play, but this was a good
sign of confidence in Newbury.
Stick salute to Dave Shapiro at Blue Seat Blogs for finding
this first.
