Today is November 9th. Alright, so we got some news on Alberts Smits from the New York Rangers. He was a late scratch for their game against Seattle, and it looks like he might miss the matchup with the Edmonton Oilers, too, due to an undisclosed injury.
Definitely a tough break for the young guy. In the meantime, the Rangers recalled defenseman Marc Del Gaizo from the Harper Wolfe pack. Matthew Robertson stepped in for Smits against the Kraken, and they're also managing without Sean Dursey. Scott Morrow has been holding it down in his place, which is nice to see. Smits missing some time could actually be a silver lining though. With the regular season being an 84 game grind, a brief break might help him reset and come back stronger. I mean he's just 18 and adjusting to the pro game, so a little breather could do him good. Scott Morrow has been a solid partner for Smits, boosting his performance in their limited time together.
Their time on the ice has shown some promising results, which could help the rookie grow even further.
Morrow might be key in making sure Smits learns through this while making an impact. Looking ahead, there's a line of dilemma once everyone is healthy. The Rangers might really need to rethink how they handle Braden Schneider's role going forward. If they keep Morrow in the mix, it benefits both his performance and Smits' development. They've got some decisions to make, that's for sure. That's the story for today, New York Rangers News Today, driven by AI.
