- Jaroslav Chmelar
- Jackson Dorrington
- Case McCarthy

Jaroslav Chmelař, Jackson Dorrington, Case McCarthy, Adam Sýkora and Kalle Väisänen have been assigned to AHL Hartford and Andrej Sustř has been released from his tryout.
41 players are left in NHL camp.
None of these comes as much of a surprise, as those five skaters are all expected to spend the season with Hartford in the AHL.
Additionally, the Rangers have released veteran defenseman Andrej Sustr from his PTO after appearing in just one preseason game with the team. Considering how that one outing went, this also does not come as much of a surprise, either.
Lastly, these may have been the only official roster moves today but they likely won't be the last. According to Frank Seravalli, the Rangers have placed four players on waivers. Anton Blidh, Justin Dowling, Trey Fix-Wolansky, and Derrick Pouliot.

Assuming they clear waivers, Blidh, Fix-Wolansky, Dowling, and Pouliout will join the aforementioned names in Hartford for the Wolf Pack's training camp. This will leave the Rangers with a roster of 37 with three preseason games to go.
