Today is October 23rd. Alright, big news coming out of the NHL today. The Philadelphia Flyers are going to be seeing a familiar face in a rival team. Luke Glendening just signed a one-year contract worth $850,000 with the New York Rangers. And yeah, that puts him right in the mix as the Flyers push for that playoff spot. So Glendening's had an interesting journey to get to this point. After not getting signed at the start of the 2026 to 27 season, he had a professional tryout with the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he played from 2023 to 2025

Didn't quite secure an NHL deal there, but he's made the most of this new opportunity.

Last season was tough for him with the New Jersey Devils, managing only 4 assists in 52 games. But he picked it up with the Flyers via waiver claim, where he played a solid role when it mattered. Scoring 2 goals and 3 assists in just 18 games shows he still knows how to contribute for sure. Now, he's stepping into the Rangers lineup, especially with Joe Veleno on injured reserve, this is a great chance for him to cash in as a depth forward and a faceoff specialist.

It's all about bringing that experience to the ice in the tail end of his career. So, it'll be interesting to see how Glendening fits into the Rangers plans and what kind of impact he can make against his old team. Got to love the drama in the league.
