Rangers right wing Gabe Perreault skates down ice. Robert Sabo for NY Post<\/p>\n
Othmann\u2019s first goal of the season didn\u2019t come until Nov. 26, but he has scored three times in his last four games for Hartford.<\/p>\n
A future in New York grows less and less likely as each opportunity passes Othmann by. Thursday would count as Othmann\u2019s 27th game with the Rangers and the supposed-to-be sharpshooter is still searching for his first NHL goal.<\/p>\n
His inability to showcase his game at the NHL level will only make it more difficult for the Rangers to trade him.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s goals the Rangers need, Perreault and Othmann should be the top two prospects who can provide them.<\/p>\n
In a corresponding move, the Rangers returned Brett Berard and Jaroslav Chmelar to Hartford.<\/p>\n
After bursting onto the scene earlier this season, Chmelar skated in his sixth game with the Rangers on Tuesday night. Now that Matt Rempe is back from his broken thumb, the team needs more offensive prowess than a fourth-line presence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Berard, who was a healthy scratch Tuesday night against the Canucks, posted zero points in an 11-game run on the wing of the third line.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe brings energy,\u201d head coach Mike Sullivan said of Berard. \u201cHe\u2019s a gritty player. He\u2019s a north-south guy. He can really skate. He\u2019s good on the puck pursuit game, but he brings a lot of energy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kids are coming to St. Louis.
