"The Rangers returned prospect Brett Berard to Hartford yesterday, presumably to make room for a returning Adam Fox some time this week. Berard was recalled following the JT Miller injury, but didn't get in any game action. He was recalled to be a spare forward while the Rangers were on the road. For those looking to point fingers, Conor Sheary was scratched for both games as well."
"This was Berard's second recall, playing in 11 games from Thanksgiving through the middle of December. He did not register a point, but was visible on the forecheck. I think it's clear the Rangers like him, but there's no need to rush him into this mess, especially while they are still trying to figure out what they have in Brennan Othmann."
The Rangers returned Brett Berard to Hartford to make roster space for a returning Adam Fox. Berard was recalled after JT Miller's injury but did not appear in any games, serving as a spare forward on the road while Conor Sheary was scratched. This marked Berard's second recall; he played 11 games from Thanksgiving through the middle of December without registering a point but was noticeable on the forecheck. The organization appears to value him but prefers cautious development rather than rushing him while evaluating Brennan Othmann. Berard should return as depth this season and could stick next year.
