Rangers Recall Brennan Othmann, Tyler Pitlick Week-To-Week With Injury

January 3, 2024 at 4:52 pm CDT | by Gabriel Foley 4 Comments

The New York Rangers have recalled top prospect Brennan Othmann from the AHL. Othmann currently ranks fourth on the Hartford Wolf Pack in scoring and eighth among all AHL rookies with nine goals and 23 points in 28 games. This is the first recall of Othmann’s career after going 16th-overall in the 2021 NHL Draft. He is one of two players from that round to be recalled on Wednesday, with the Los Angeles Kings recalling eighth-overall pick Brandt Clarke. Othmann be looking to become the 16th player from the 2021 First Round to make his NHL debut.

New York also shared that forward Tyler Pitlick is week-to-week with a lower-body injury. This could set up Othmann to make his NHL debut in New York’s Thursday night matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks. Pitlick has three points in 28 appearances this season.

The Rangers signed Othmann to a three-year, $4.1MM entry-level contract in 2021 that is effective from 2023-24 to 2025-26, with the Rangers receiving two entry level slides from Othmann staying in the OHL.

Othmann was traded midway through last year’s OHL season, moving from the Flint Firebirds to the Peterborough Petes. He would go on to serve as the team’s leading scorer through the postseason, netting 25 points in 23 games as Peterborough won the OHL championship and made it to the semifinal game of the 2023 Memorial Cup. Othmann was one of many NHL prospects on the championship-winning Petes lineup, joining Seattle’s Tucker Robertson, Vancouver’s Connor Lockhart, Philadelphia’s J.R. Avon, and New Jersey’s Chase Stillman.

      Don’t get too excited! The NYR have picks 1 and 2 OA and neither has surpassed 50 points in the show after 4/5 years in the show – respectively. NY is horrendous at developing prospects and as much as I’d love to see Othmann become a multi-cat stud, I have trepidation given the team he is on!

      The point totals of their top picks probably has a lot to do with the fact that unlike normal first or second overall picks breaking in on dumpster fire rosters, they have not received any significant power play time and are trying to find their minutes on a contending, 110 point team with established stars.

    No clue why teams keep employing Pitlick.
