In dire need of offense, the New York Rangers have recalled a pair of forward prospects to the NHL level. The Rangers announced<\/a> they\u2019ve recalled Gabriel Perreault<\/a> and Brennan Othmann<\/a> to the team, and have reassigned Brett Berard<\/a> and Jaroslav Chmelar<\/a> in a corresponding roster move.<\/p>\n

Perreault, 20, was the 23rd overall pick of the 2023 NHL Draft from the United States National Team Development Program. He already has eight NHL appearances to his name, but only one assist to show for.<\/p>\n

Still, Perreault has dominated at every level he\u2019s played at. Spending his two post-draft seasons with the Boston College Eagles, Perreault scored 35 goals and 108 points in 73 games over his tenure. This season, with the AHL\u2019s Hartford Wolf Pack, Perreault has scored 10 goals and 17 points in 20 games. Although the production is only good for 12th in the AHL among rookies, Perreault is currently leading the Wolf Pack.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Othmann, 22, has remained with the organization after being the subject of trade speculation<\/a> shortly after the 2025-26 season began. Despite being the 16th overall pick of the 2021 NHL Draft, he\u2019s only managed 26 games with the Rangers, tallying two assists. His frustration with the organization likely stemmed from his lack of opportunity in the NHL and his limited usage once he was there, averaging 9:58 of ice time in those 26 contests.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the trade rumors, he\u2019s remained relatively productive in the NHL. This season, he has scored four goals and 10 points in 19 games with a -7 rating. Before the current campaign, he had scored 33 goals and 69 points in 94 contests.<\/p>\n

Bedard, 23, returns to the Wolf Pack after spending all of his time with the Rangers since American Thanksgiving. The Providence, RI native registered one assist in 11 games before his demotion, averaging 10:59 of ice time.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Chmelar returns to Hartford, where he\u2019s scored three goals and 11 points in 19 games this season. The 6\u20194\u2033, 227 lbs winger is in his second professional season, and has skated in six games with New York this year.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no guarantee that either Perreault or Othmann will provide the fix for New York\u2019s stagnant offense. They have already broken a record this year, becoming the first team to be shut out six times through their first 17 home games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In dire need of offense, the New York Rangers have recalled a pair of forward prospects to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":354969,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[35718,28985,176207,176208,4823,385,99,6182],"class_list":["post-354968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-brennan-othmann","tag-brett-berard","tag-gabriel-perreault","tag-jaroslav-chmelar","tag-new-york-rangers","tag-nhl","tag-sports","tag-transactions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=354968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354968\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
