Glenn Gawdin has been recalled by the New York Rangers as Luke Glendening's ice time plummets. We break down Gawdin's hot AHL start and what his arrival means for the ongoing bottom-six center search in Calgary.
The New York Rangers have recalled forward Glenn Gawdin from the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack to address ongoing bottom-six center depth issues. Blue Line Station argues that Gawdin's promotion likely marks the conclusion of the team's experiment with 37-year-old veteran center Luke Glendening, whose ice time dwindled to under four minutes during Monday's 3-1 loss to Edmonton.
