Defenseman Brandon Crawley and goaltender Adam Huska are on the list of 33 names, competing to be a part of the Rangers roster when the NHL season resumes on August 1st for Stanley Cup Qualifiers.
Crawley, a 23-year-old defenseman from Glen Rock, NJ, spent the majority of the 2019-20 season in Maine. He played 38 games for the Mariners, scoring two goals and adding ten assists, with 36 penalty minutes. He also played nine games for the Hartford Wolf Pack in the AHL, with no points and six penalty minutes. Prior to 2019-20, Crawley played two full seasons in Hartford, suiting up in 114 games from 2017-19. Crawley was drafted by the Rangers in 2017, a fourth-round pick, going 123rd overall.
Huska, also 23, is a Slovakian netminder who played primarily in Hartford in his first full pro season. The 6’3 goaltender suited up in 28 games for the Wolf Pack, with an 11-8-6 record, a 3.03 GAA, and a .894 SV%.
