The Rangers have loaned defense prospect Tarmo Reunanen overseas as Tuto of the Mestis in Finland announced that they’ve added the blueliner on loan through December 15th.
It’s the season straight season that the 22-year-old has been loaned out as he spent all of last season with Lukko of the SM-liiga. He put up respectable numbers offensively in his second full campaign with them, picking up 19 points in 51 games along with a +17 rating and 32 penalty minutes.
Reunanen is actually entering the second year of his entry-level deal without ever playing a regular season game on a playing surface inside North America. When training camps get underway, he’ll report back to New York where he’s expected to start the season with AHL Hartford.
