The New York Rangers announced they have recalled defenseman Matthew Robertson from their AHL affiliate Hartford Wolf Pack.
Robertson recorded one goal and 24 assists in 60 games with Hartford this season.
The 24-year-old has been a key cog on the Hartford blue line for four seasons, totalling 11 goals and 80 points in 250 career AHL games.
A second round pick of the Rangers in 2019, Robertson was a highly touted prospect who was never able to crack the Rangers roster despite being recalled multiple times.

The Edmonton, Alta., native will be a restricted free agent at the end of the season.
The Rangers were officially eliminated from NHL playoff contention yesterday and the Wolf Pack are going to miss the Calder Cup Playoffs, allowing Robertson to gain some experience and make his NHL debut in a low stakes environment.
