Rangers Recall Erixon; Place Staal on IR and Assign Avery to Connecticut
Wednesday, Oct. 5th, 2011
New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that defenseman Tim Erixon has been recalled from the Connecticut Whale of the American Hockey League (AHL), while forward Sean Avery has been assigned to Connecticut.
In addition, defenseman Marc Staal has been placed on injured reserve.
Erixon, 20, registered two assists with a plus-three rating and 10 penalty minutes in five preseason contests with the Rangers prior to his assignment to Connecticut on Saturday. He tallied his first points as a Blueshirt with two assists, including one on the power play, at HC Sparta Praha on Friday.
Erixon made his first appearance as a Ranger in the team's preseason opener on September 21 vs. New Jersey at Albany, NY.
The 6-2, 190-pounder recorded five goals and 19 assists for 24 points, along with 40 penalty minutes with Skelleftea HC of the Swedish Elite League (SEL) last season. He established SEL career-highs in games played, assists and points while skating in his third full season in Sweden's top professional league.
Erixon tied for fifth on the Skelleftea team in assists and eighth in points, and ranked fifth on the club in penalty minutes. He also tied for fifth on the team in playoff goals (three) and assists (five), and sixth in points (eight) while establishing playoff career-highs in games played (18), goals, assists, points, and penalty minutes (12).
The Rangers now have 23 players remaining on their active roster, including two goaltenders, eight defensemen and 13 forwards.
