The Rangers have sent Pavel Buchnevich to Hartford (AHL).

Buchnevich has been a healthy scratch for the last three games and was sent to Hartford this afternoon to create a roster spot to add Brendan Smith from Detroit today. Buchnevich has had a really inconsistent season and has had his play fall off a lot recently.

Bjugstad (groin) will return to the Panthers’ lineup on Thursday.

Bjugstad has missed the last nine games with a groin injury, but will return to centre the Panthers’ fourth line on Thursday. Bjugstad has had a tough season, posting just two points (1G / 1A) in 21 games so far. His production has fallen off immensely since his breakout 2014-15 campaign.

Buchnevich has been out since November 12th, but will return to the lineup tonight after a brief three-game conditioning stint with Hartford (AHL). Buchnevich had one goal and one assist during those three games and returns to the Rangers, where he has eight points (4G / 4A) in 10 games this season.
