Malone remains with the Rangers despite going unclaimed off waivers, Steve Zipay of Newsday reports. As a 34-year-old NHL veteran, Malone doesn't have much to gain by heading to the minors, so the Rangers will keep him around as a depth forward and practice player until further notice. Unless the Rangers decide to reassign him, Malone will be eligible to appear in games, though he figures to serve as a regular healthy scratch for the team.
