GRACHEV, THAT WAS QUICK… 

Mitch Beck, 15 years ago 2 2 min read  

Grachev_E_0922_inside Evgeny Grachev has been recalled by the NY Rangers after playing just one game with the Wolf Pack. According to Steve Zipay in his Blue Notes blog and Andrew Gross in his Ranger Rants, Ryan Callahan has an upper body injury from the morning skate. He still might go, but that won't be known for sure till game time.

Here’s the release from the Rangers.

New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that forward Evgeny Grachev has been recalled from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL).

Grachev, 19, made his AHL debut with Hartford on October 3 at Binghamton. Last season, he captured the Emms Family Award as the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Rookie of the Year, while skating with Brampton. He led all OHL rookies in goals (40) and points (80), and ranked sixth in assists (40). Grachev ranked fifth among all league skaters in goals and finished 13th in points. He also ranked fourth in the league with a plus-48 rating and tied for ninth with six game-winning goals. During the OHL playoffs, Grachev finished seventh in the league in points (25), tied for fifth in goals (11) and eighth in assists (14).

The Khabarovsk, Russia native was originally the Rangers third round selection, 75th overall, in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.

The Blueshirts return to action tonight when they will face off against the Washington Capitals at Verizon Center (7:00 PM). The game will be televised live on MSG Network and can be heard on 970 The Apple.

Meanwhile former Pack enforcer Francis Lessard has been recalled to the NHL by the Phoenix Coyotes (or as we affectionately refer to them as Wolf Pack West).

    Elsie,
    You couldn’t have picked a more timely moment to ask me about this. Ironically Tommy called about an hour ago. He told me that he is not going to report to Charlotte. He REALLY wanted to be in Hartford this season and fel that he had a strong enough training camp to have made the team. From what we saw he looked real solid, but we don’t make those decisions and respect the people who do. In any event, Tommy said that he really didn’t like it down there. He’s in Michigan right now and he and his agent are looking at opportunities for him to go back to Europe. He told me that he would let me know when he gets something.
