The 21-year-old forward has recorded 12 goals, 17 assists, and 29 points in 62 games with the Wolf Pack this season.

“I know I’m a different player from those the New York Rangers have drafted,” Sýkora said in September. “So, that’s kind of my path — forecheck, backcheck, all the skating, hard work, that’s kind of my job that gets me here. And I want to put it all together to get to the next level. Defensive things, penalty kill, blocking shots and a team player, helping and supporting each other. Be alive on the bench and support the other guys here.”
It’s unclear if he will slot into the Rangers’ lineup on Wednesday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In a corresponding move, the Rangers sent Connor Mackey back down to the AHL, opening the door for Drew Fortescue to make his NHL debut in Toronto.
