The New York Rangers have implemented several roster adjustments involving recalls from their AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack. 

In early November, the team recalled Jaroslav Chmelar to address depth issues and a recent losing streak. This move, which included assigning Taylor Raddysh to the AHL, was intended to stabilize the fourth line following an injury to Joe Veleno. The team also faced challenges in net due to the absence of Igor Shesterkin and Joonas Korpisalo.

By mid-November, the Rangers recalled defender Marc Del Gaizo to provide depth on the blue line. This move was prompted by injuries to players including Alberts Smits and Sean Durzi, as the team prepared for a three-game series in Western Canada.
