## Summary

Glenn Gawdin returned to the NHL on Wednesday, making his Rangers debut against the Calgary Flames, the team that first signed him as a professional. The 29-year-old centre’s appearance came after more than two and a half years away from the league, following a sustained run of strong form with the Rangers’ AHL affiliate.

Gawdin had five goals and nine assists in 16 games for the Hartford Wolf Pack, tying for the team lead in points when he was recalled. In the Rangers’ 3-1 win, he played 6:27, won two of six face-offs and centred the fourth line; it was his 14th NHL game across five seasons. Coach Mike Sullivan said Will Cuylle’s brief trial at third-line centre was over “for now”, while Tye Kartye scored for the third time in four games.
