New York, November 26, 2009 - New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that defenseman Bobby Sanguinetti has been recalled from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL).
Sanguinetti, 21, has registered six goals and 16 assists for 22 points, along with 10 penalty minutes in 21 games with Hartford this season. Following a two assist performance last night at Lowell, Sanguinetti leads all AHL defensemen in scoring and ranks fourth in the league overall with 22 points. He has registered six multi-point efforts on the season, including an AHL career-high four-point performance on October 31 against Providence (two goals and two assists). Last season, Sanguinetti led Wolf Pack defensemen in points (42) and assists (36), and set a Hartford single-season rookie record for assists by a blueliner. He also led all Wolf Pack skaters with five points (one goal and four assists) in six AHL playoff contests.
The Trenton, New Jersey native was originally the Rangers first round selection, 21st overall, in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
The Blueshirts return to action tomorrow, November 27, when they will face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning at St. Pete Times Forum (7:30 p.m.), in the first game of a back-to-back road set. Prior to the game, the team's morning skate is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. at St. Pete Times Forum. The game will be televised live on MSG Plus and can be heard on 970 The Apple. New York posted a 4-0-0 record against Tampa Bay last season, beginning with a pair of 2-1 victories at the Bridgestone NHL Premiere in Prague, Czech Republic. Three of their four meetings were decided by one goal, including a 3-2 shootout victory at Tampa Bay on November 26, 2008. The Rangers power play posted a 24.0% (6-25) success rate in the season series.
