\"Scott<\/p>\n

On Sunday night, Scott Morrow made his New York Rangers debut after being called up from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League earlier that day.<\/p>\n

The Rangers acquired Morrow over the summer as part of the sign-and-trade deal with the Carolina Hurricanes centered around K\u2019Andre Miller.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During training camp, Morrow was given an opportunity to make the opening-night roster, as he played in multiple preseason games while practicing on the second power-play unit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was one of the last players to be sent down to the AHL before the start of the 2025-26 season. In 11 games for the Wolf Pack, Morrow recorded one goal, one assist, and two points.<\/p>\n

With Will Borgen out with an upper-body injury, the Rangers called up Morrow, and he was immediately slotted into the lineup in place of Urho Vaakanainen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old defenseman played 9:56 minutes in his NHL season debut, the fewest amongst all Rangers blueliners.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, Rangers assistant coach David Quinn praised Morrow for his performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked his game. I thought Scotty did a good job,\u201d Quinn said. \u201cI thought he kept it simple. He moves the puck well, gets us out of our end when we needed to get out of our end when the chances presented themselves. I thought he defended well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Borgen\u2019s injury status remains a mystery, so it\u2019s possible Morrow could find himself back in the lineup on Tuesday night when the Rangers go up against the Vegas Golden Knights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Minnesota Wild\u00a0(8-7-4) is back on home ice tonight to host the\u00a0Vegas Golden Knights\u00a0(8-4-5).\u00a0\u00a0The Wild will be without forward Vladimir Tarasenko for the second straight game.<\/p>\n

Tarasenko, 33, has two goals and ten points in 18 games this year for the Wild.\u00a0He missed Saturday’s game against the Anaheim Ducks\u00a0with a lower-body injury and will not play again on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Wild head coach John Hynes said after the game that Tarasenko’s status will be day-to-day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
