It's October 5th. Yo, I'm Corey with the story, and this is New York Rangers News Today, your AI-powered team report. Alright, big news out of New York today.
The Rangers are riding high on a winning streak, taking three straight games, and currently sitting at the top of the Metropolitan Division.
They recently took down the Utah Mammoths with a solid 4-2 finish.
But in a surprising move, the Rangers have waved defenseman Matthew Robertson. This comes after he was a healthy scratch in the team's first four games. Kind of wild to see a young guy like that go while the team is doing so well. Robertson was picked up in the second round of the 2019 NHL entry draft, and he made some noise in his rookie season last year. He played 72 games, racking up six goals and 12 assists. Not bad stats for a rookie, right? Even so, the Rangers defense looks stronger this season, which left Robertson out in the cold. He's a tall guy at six feet four inches, so it's possible another team might grab him off waivers. Should be interesting to see if anyone bites. Overall, it's a tough break for a young player, but the Rangers are clearly focused on this season's goals. We'll see how this all unfolds and if Robertson gets picked up.
