Rangers' Matt Beleskey: Back with big club
Matt Beleskey was recalled from AHL Hartford on Thursday.Beleskey was demoted earlier in the week as a means to get the left winger some much-needed ice time. The 30-year-old has appeared in just one NHL game in 2018-19 and has been a non-factor since arriving in New York last season via trade.

Rangers' Matt Beleskey: Sent down to minors
Matt Beleskey was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Monday.Beleskey's demotion is likely about getting him playing time, considering he has appeared in just one game for the New York Rangers this season. New York is off until Saturday's matchup with Florida, while its minor-league affiliate the Work Pack have a pair of games Wednesday and Friday.

Rangers' Matt Beleskey: Back with big club
The New York Rangers recalled Matt Beleskey from AHL Hartford on Sunday, Jon Lane of NHL.com reports.Beleskey could make his Rangers debut Sunday versus the Jets if Mats Zuccarello (groin) and Vladislav Namestnikov (groin) continue to sit out. The 30-year-old didn't record a point and posted a minus-9 rating in 15 NHL games last year, so his fantasy value is negligible.
