WOLSKI FOR VERNACE AND A THIRD ROUNDER

The New York Rangers shed some salary cap issues and a player that really wasn’t going to play for them again in sending Wojtek Wolski to Florida in exchange for career minor-leaguer, Michael Vernace. The 25-year old defenseman is not exactly a game changer, but he will provide Ken Gernander with more depth on the blueline.

Here’s the official release:

SPOTLIGHT: ALL-STARS

BY: Bruce Berlet

Connecticut Whale personnel and fans knew rookie left wing Carl Hagelin was plenty fast from the time he played his first pro-game in the playoffs last April.

Hagelin continued to blaze an impressive trail in his first 17 games this season after being among the Rangers’ final cuts, getting seven goals and six assists to earn a call-up on Nov. 24. Hagelin, who co-captained the University of Michigan to the NCAA championship game a year ago, also showed well almost from the outset in the NHL, getting seven goals and seven assists in his first 16 games.

SPOTLIGHT: DOMINIC MOORE

BY: Bruce Berlet

Former Hartford Wolf Pack and New York Rangers center Dominic Moore had a day to forget – and relish – on Thursday.

Moore was the reason that Martin St. Louis’ NHL-high consecutive games played streak of 499 ended Thursday night, after he took a puck near the eye during the morning skate before the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Rangers 3-2 in a shootout to end a five-game losing streak.
