New York has signed Urho Vaakanainen to a two-year, $3.10 million contract extension ($1.55 million AAV).

The Rangers acquired Soucy from the Canucks on Thursday in exchange for a 2025 third-round draft pick.
With the emergence of Elias Nils Pettersson on the Canucks blue-line this season, Soucy was deemed to be an expendable asset by Vancouver. Soucy leaves the Canucks after appearing in 99 games across parts of two seasons, registering five goals and 11 assists.
Robertson has been re-assigned to Hartford (AHL).
The Rangers have recalled Chad Ruhwedel and reassigned Robertson to the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL). The 23-year-old defenseman has yet to play an NHL game and has 18 points (1G / 17A) in 47 games with Hartford this season.
The Rangers have acquired Brendan Brisson and a 2025 3rd Round Pick from the Golden Knights for Reilly Smith.
Brisson was a first-round pick, 29th overall, of the Golden Knights in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old forward played nine games with the Golden Knights this season but has spent most of the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL, tallying 19 points (5G / 14A) in 45 games with the Henderson Silver Knights.

The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as +105 home underdogs against a Capitals squad that snapped a three-game losing skid on Monday, narrowly defeating the Ottawa Senators 5-4 in a shootout.
