Rangers Sign Second-Round Pick Matthew Robertson
Matthew Robertson notched 21 points (one goal, 10 assists) in 61 games while playing for the Hartford Wolf Pack in the 2023-2024 season, showcasing his impressive puck-handling skills. As his entry-level contract nears its end, Robertson’s new agreement represents a crucial juncture as he seeks to solidify a permanent position within the Rangers’ lineup. With limited left-handed defensive options for the Rangers beyond K’Andre Miller and Ryan Lindgren, Robertson has the chance to claim the third pairing position and log substantial NHL playing time.
