Kaliyev (upper body) signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Senators on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev topped 50 regular-season appearances in each of his final three years with the Kings, but he was limited to just 14 games with the NHL club last year while hampered by injuries. It's not yet clear whether he'll be ready for training camp this year, but he'll attempt to carve out a role with the Senators in 2025-26.

The Rangers didn't extend a qualifying offer to Kaliyev (upper body) on Monday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

After topping 50 appearances in each of his final three full seasons with the Kings, Kaliyev was hampered by injuries last year, appearing in just 14 games and recording three goals, an assist, seven hits, two blocked shots and two PIM while averaging 11:13 of ice time. He missed the end of the 2024-25 campaign due to an upper-body injury, and it's unclear whether he'll be ready for the start of training camp this fall.

Kaliyev (upper body) will not play again this season, including the postseason, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev's season has been hampered by injuries, as the 23-year-old winger was limited to just 14 games this year in which he notched three goals, one assist and seven hits while averaging 11:13 of ice time. Looking ahead to the offseason, Kaliyev will be a restricted free agent, so he should be back with the Rangers next year after the two sides come together on a new deal.

Kaliyev (upper body) won't play against Edmonton Sunday, per Larry Brooks of the New York Post.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev will miss his third straight game. His next chance to play will come versus Calgary on Tuesday, but he could be a healthy scratch once he's ready to return. Before playing against Winnipeg on March 11, Kaliyev was in the press box for seven consecutive contests.

Kaliyev (upper body) will not play Thursday in Minnesota and has returned home to New York, according to Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev got back into the lineup Tuesday after being a healthy scratch for seven consecutive games, but saw only 7:49 of action after averaging over 11:30 of ice time in his previous 13 games. He has three goals and one assists in 14 games in 2024-25. Brett Berard or Juuso Parssinen will enter the lineup in place of Kaliyev.

Kaliyev had a shot on goal in 7:49 of ice time in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to Tuesday, Kaliyev had been scratched in seven straight games, but Juuso Parssinen and Brett Berard were out of the lineup for this contest. The 23-year-old Kaliyev was snagged off waivers from the Kings in January, and he has four points over 14 outings since joining the Rangers, but he's not a lock to be in the lineup. When he plays, he typically fills a bottom-six role, so he's also not getting time with linemates who could help him tap into his scoring potential on a regular basis.

Kaliyev scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev had been scratched for the first four games of February, but he checked back in for the second half of a back-to-back. The Rangers shuffled their lines after losing to the Penguins on Friday, and Kaliyev capitalized on playing with Mika Zibanejad, who assisted on his opening tally. Kaliyev's time with the Rangers has been middling so far, with four points, 19 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 11 appearances. He doesn't have a firm grip on a place in the lineup and will likely battle Jonny Brodzinski and Matt Rempe for playing time.

Kaliyev scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Senators. He also took two shots on goal and recorded two hits.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev was picked up off waivers Jan. 6 from the Kings, and the 23-year-old has responded by scoring two goals over his last four appearances. Even though he holds a middle-six role, his fantasy impact shouldn't be very high unless he gets promoted to one of the top two lines -- a scenario that doesn't seem likely to happen in the near future.

Kaliyev scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-3 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev's goal was his first as a Ranger, and it was also his first point over four contests since the team claimed him off waivers from the Kings. The 23-year-old has filled a middle-six role so far, and it could take him some time to get up to speed after he missed all of training camp and the first half of the regular season due to a fractured clavicle. Kaliyev had a total of 71 points over 188 contests across parts of four seasons with the Kings, so he's yet to really display a consistent scoring touch at the NHL level.

Kaliyev was claimed off waivers by the Rangers from the Kings on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kaliyev effectively serves as a replacement for Kaapo Kakko -- a young, high-potential winger -- after the Rangers traded Kakko to the Kraken in mid-December. Selected by the Kings with the 33rd pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, the 23-year-old Kaliyev has struggled to produce last season with just 15 points in 51 games -- well behind the pace he set in 2022-23 when he generated 13 goals and 15 helpers in 56 outings. He has yet to play at the NHL level in 2024-25 after suffering a fractured clavicle in training camp, but he put up two points over five games while on a conditioning loan with AHL Ontario. While Kaliyev figures to start in a bottom-six role with the Rangers, he could push for more opportunities if he can get his offensive game going.
