"Over the weekend, the Rangers recalled forward Jaroslav Chmelar and returned forward Brennan Othmann to the AHL. The move was made after Othmann had sat as a healthy scratch for most of the week, unable to hold down a spot over Conor Sheary or Taylor Raddysh. Chmelar played in last night's 3-2 OT loss to Vegas, playing 9:01 on the fourth line with Sam Carrick and Jonny Brodzinski. Chmelar looked fine. Nothing spectacular, nothing bad. Steady is good."
"The "story" though, is Othmann. Othmann was recalled at the start of the week when Adam Edstrom went down with an upper body injury. Othmann never even played, which is both a product of the Rangers' successes last week and Othmann himself. He's now seen multiple stints with the Rangers, only to get into the lineup for one game against Calgary in October."

Chmelar played 9:01 on the fourth line with Sam Carrick and Jonny Brodzinski in a 3-2 OT loss to Vegas and delivered steady, unspectacular play. Othmann was recalled earlier when Adam Edstrom suffered an upper-body injury but never played. Othmann has had multiple short stints with the Rangers and has played only one game this season, prompting a push to move on.
