Story summary
The New York Rangers recalled rookie Cole Beaudoin from their AHL affiliate in Hartford just two games into his professional career. He was called up ahead of a matchup with the Islanders at Madison Square Garden, filling a vacancy at center due to injuries. Beaudoin, who turned 20 recently and was acquired by the Rangers as part of the Vincent Trocheck trade with Utah, skated on the fourth line alongside Jaroslav Chmelar and Oliver Bjorkstrand during his debut game. Despite nerves, he expressed excitement about having fun on the ice, contributing to a 5-2 victory over the Islanders.
Earlier in the day, the Rangers placed another centerman, Joe Veleno, on injured reserve with a lower-body injury sustained from a collision during a game against the Mammoth in Utah. Beaudoin's recall highlights the team’s need for depth at center due to injuries and roster management decisions.

Prior to the recall, Joe Veleno was placed on injured reserve with the lower-body injury he suffered in the win over the Mammoth.
asserted
he → place → Mammoth
In the first period Sunday night, Veleno fell awkwardly along the boards with Utah’s Clayton Keller.
asserted
Veleno → fall → Keller
The centerman had to be assisted to the dressing room and didn’t put any weight on his right leg.

Head coach Mike Sullivan did not have a timeline on Veleno, nor could he say whether he was day to day or week to week.
uncertain
he → have → week
The Blueshirts also had to put Matthew Robertson on waivers Monday to make room on the roster for Beaudoin.

Robertson ultimately cleared and was assigned to Hartford.

The 26-year-old Veleno joins backup goalie Joonas Korpisalo and young wing Adam Sykora, who both sustained lower-body injuries, on the sideline.
asserted
who → join → sideline
It is unclear when Korpisalo sustained his injury, but the veteran netminder got hurt before he could start a single game.
uncertain
he → sustain → game
In the preseason, Sykora absorbed a hard hit from Devils prospect Mikael Diotte and bent his right knee back along the boards as he fell.
asserted
he → absorb → boards
The Slovakian wing was ruled out for four to five months.
asserted
wing → rule → months
Since Sykora is on a two-way contract, only logged 11 games with the Rangers last season and was injured prior to the finalization of the opening-night roster, the 22-year-old’s cap hit is prorated based on his number of days on the roster last year multiplied by the current year cap hit ($110,208), per Puck Pedia.

hit → log → Pedia
Beaudoin was leading the Wolf Pack with five points (one goal, four assists) in two games at the time of the recall.
