Mancini was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Wednesday.
Mancini hasn't been able to claim a full-time spot in the Rangers' lineup. The Rangers dealt away Kaapo Kakko for defenseman Will Borgen, who will now fill a depth role on the blue line. That allows Mancini to head back to Hartford to continue his development.
