Tyler Pitlick News

Pitlick left the Rangers' previous game vs. Carolina after just 6:58 TOI due to a lower-body injury and is now considered out week-to-week. The 32-year-old has struggled offensively in 2023-24, with only a goal, two assists, 28 SOG, four PIMs and a -1 plus/minus in 28 games prior to his injury. Pitlick will be replaced by top prospect Brennan Othmann in the Rangers' lineup which he is on the mend.

Pitlick had seven goals, nine assists, 54 SOG, 14 PIMs and a -1 plus/minus through 61 games with St.Louis in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year contract with the New York Rangers worth $785,500. The 31-year-old centre is joining his eighth NHL team and has 55 goals and 105 points across 386 games and nine NHL seasons.

Pitlick was a healthy scratch for the Blues' previous game but will draw into the lineup Thursday as a replacement for Hugh Mcging.

Pitlick signed a one-year, $750,000 deal just a day ago with the Blues and will likely find himself inserted directly into the lineup Wednesday as they take on the Edmonton Oilers at home. In 325 career games played, he has 48 goals and 89 points through his nine-year career.

The Blues announced that they've signed Pitlick to a one-year deal and placed Pavel Buchnevich (undisclosed) on IR to make room for him. Pitlick had one goal and four assists (five points) in 39 games with the Flames and Canadiens last season.

Pitlick missed the last two games with an upper-body injury that he suffered vs. the Maple Leafs last Saturday. Pitlick will replace Mathieu Perreault in the lineup vs. the Hurricanes. Pitlick has picked up just two assists in 27 games this season.

Pitlick never found his groove with the Flames, registering just two assists in 25 games. He gets sent to Montreal to help clear salary space for the Flames to bring on Toffoli. He'll likely play a similar, bottom-6 role in Montreal.

The COVID-19 outbreak in Calgary continues as seven more players were added to the protocol list, including Pitlick. That brings the total to 16 players.

Pitlick was selected by Seattle in the Expansion Draft on Wednesday but was quickly flipped to the Flames for a fourth-round pick. Pitlick doesn't bring a lot of offence to the table but has a trustworthy two-way game that should pair well with Mikael Backlund and help out the Flames penalty kill in 2021-22.

Pitlick was forced to leave Monday's game vs. the Avalanche and will miss at least a couple of weeks with a lower-body injury. With Pitlick out on Friday, look for Drake Caggiula to draw back into the lineup vs. the Sharks.

After one season with the Flyers, Pitlick hit the open market, signing a two-year deal with the Coyotes. Pitlick provides very little offence but has good size (6-foot, 200 lbs) and fills an important role in the Coyotes' bottom-6. Pitlick led all Flyers' forwards with 132 hits while chipping in 20 points (8G / 12A) in 63 games.

Pitlick missed the last two games but will replace Chris Stewart in the lineup vs. Buffalo. Pitlick, who has just six points (2G / 4A) in 28 games this season, will skate on the fourth line with Mikhail Vorobyev and Andy Andreoff.
