The Rangers have claimed Jake Leschyshyn off waivers from the Golden Knights.
Leschyshyn was a second-round pick in 2017 and has picked up six points (2G / 4A) in 63 career NHL games. Leschyshyn figures to factor in on the Rangers' fourth line moving forward.
Greenway (illness) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play in New York.

Jordan Greenway will be a game-time decision Tuesday vs. the Rangers (undisclosed).
Greenway has two goals, four goals, 30 SOG, 14 PIMs and a +4 plus/minus through 22 games but will be a game-time decision Tuesday vs. the New York Rangers. He is dealing with an undisclosed injury.
Ukko-Pekka Luukonen has been loaned to Rochester (AHL).
Luukonen has a 9-3-1 record, 3.49 GAA and .894 SV% this season but will surprisingly be loaned back to Rochester (AHL) as Eric Comrie returns from a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old is expected to return to the club this season so this is just a temporary move.
