Kevin Rooney will be out long-term after undergoing shoulder surgery.

Rooney had an assist, 14 SOG, seven PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 17 games played with Calgary in 2022-23 but will be forced to miss the start of the 2023-24 season as he is out long-term with an upper-body injury. The 30-year-old forward was expected to battle for one of the Flames' final roster spots but will be added to their injured reserve which is also occupied by Jakub Pelletier (shoulder surgery).

The Rangers have signed Kevin Rooney to a two-year deal worth $1.5 million ($750K AAV).

Rooney signed with the New Jersey Devils out of Providence College and spent the first five years of his career in that organization. The 27-year-old was a regular NHLer in 2020, scoring four goals and five assists (nine points) in 49 games. He will be a borderline roster player on a deep Rangers team and could start the year in Hartford (AHL).

The Devils have assigned Kevin Rooney to Binghamton (AHL).

Rooney is known for his play on the defensive side of the puck and his penalty kill ability, so it’s not that surprising to see he has not recorded a point in two games with the Devils this season. Kurtis Gabriel was recalled to take his spot on the roster.

The Devils have recalled Kevin Rooney from Binghamton (AHL).

Rooney made his season debut with the Devils on Saturday, but went back to the AHL post-game. Rooney is one of the best penalty killers in the Devils organization, but doesn’t bring a lot of offence to the table—just 34 points (14G / 20A) in 71 games with Binghamton last year.
