4:24PM: Pavel Buchnevich has been suspended for one game for his high-sticking incident with Anthony Mantha.
The NHL said that Buchnevich was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for “recklessly delivering a forceful, high stick to the face” of Mantha.
In describing the incident, the NHL said:
6:36PM: Drury was a guest on The Michael Kay show at 5:30PM and what he said is below.
1:38PM: Rangers President and GM Chris Drury and Senior Advisor Glen Sather met with the media on Thursday morning and said (NYR):
The NHL has announced a $250,000 fine for the Rangers based upon Tuesday’s statement about Tom Wilson and George Parros.
From the NHL: “Public comments of the nature issued by the Rangers that were personal in nature and demeaning of a League executive will not be tolerated,” said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. “While we don’t expect our Clubs to agree with every decision rendered by the Department of Player Safety, the extent to which the Rangers expressed their disagreement was unacceptable. It is terribly unfair to question George Parros’ professionalism and dedication to his role and the Department of Player Safety.”
The Rangers have called up forwards Jonny Brodzinski, Tim Gettinger, and Justin Richards from Hartford.
The call ups are because Julien Gauthier is out for the final two games of the season and Pavel Buchnevich could be suspended for his hi-stick on Anthony Mantha.
From the Rangers:
David Quinn met with the media following the Rangers loss to Washington and said (NYR):
First Period:
Second Period:
Third Period:
Julien Gauthier left the game in the first period after one shift and what appeared to be a leg/knee injury.
