One of the recent call-ups made by the New York Rangers was Daniel Catenacci. Since he is unknown to a large fraction of the fanbase, let’s take a look at his career thus far and what kind of impact he might be able to have on the team.
Most fans know the feeling. A few star players go down with injuries, so the team decides to make a few call-ups. The notification announcing the call-ups goes out…and no one knows who this “new guy” is.
That was the case for a number of New York Rangers fans when Daniel Catenacci was recalled last week. He has played one game with the Rangers so far, January 20th against the Colorado Avalanche. He was held scoreless and recorded just one shot in 16 shifts over 11:03 of ice-time.
However, it’s hard to figure out who he is as a player from just one game. We took a look back at Catenacci’s hockey career thus far and if he could help the Rangers right now.
