Beleskey was sent down to AHL Hartford on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old forward has played four games with the Rangers this season, scoring just one goal in the process. It seems that the options for Beleskey at this point were a demotion to the AHL or become a regular in the press box.

Beleskey was recalled from AHL Hartford on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old was demoted earlier in the week as a means to get him out of a suit and into hockey gear. Beleskey has appeared in just one game for the Rangers this season. In 15 games AHL Hartford, the veteran left winger has three goals and 10 points. He could draw into the lineup Saturday when the Rangers take on the Panthers.

Beleskey was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Beleskey's demotion is likely about getting him playing time, considering he has appeared in just one game for the Rangers this season. New York is off until Saturday's matchup with Florida, while its minor-league affiliate the Work Pack have a pair of games Wednesday and Friday. Beleskey will almost certainly be recalled ahead of Saturday's tilt.

The Rangers recalled Beleskey from AHL Hartford on Sunday, Jon Lane of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beleskey could make his Rangers debut Sunday versus the Jets if Mats Zuccarello (groin) and Vladislav Namestnikov (groin) continue to sit out. The 30-year-old didn't record a point and posted a minus-9 rating in 15 NHL games last year, so his fantasy value is negligible.

The Rangers placed Beleskey (shoulder) on waivers Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beleskey has been sidelined for the first nine games of the campaign due to a shoulder injury, but that's evidently no longer an issue for the veteran winger. If he goes unclaimed, the 2006 fourth-round pick will almost certainly be assigned to AHL Hartford.

Beleskey (shoulder) is considered day-to-day, Rick Carpiniello of The Athletic reports, which means he could be available Tuesday against Florida.

EDGE Analysis

Beleskey's original timeline put him returning Oct. 25, but his upgraded status could be an indication the winger is ahead of schedule. Whenever the Ontario native is given the green light to return, he will need to activated off injured reserve and would likely replace Vinni Lettieri or Cody McLeod in the lineup.

Beleskey (shoulder) took to the ice as part of Thursday's optional skate, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Beleskey -- who remains on injured reserve -- was able to skate with his teammates is certainly an important step in his recovery, but his timeline remains unchanged with an expected return date of Oct. 25 against Chicago.

Beleskey (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Sept. 24, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Beleskey isn't expected to be ready until Oct. 25 anyway, but his place on injured reserve frees up a roster spot. The 30-year-old winger has been a bottom-six asset in recent years and his absence won't have drastic effects on the fantasy realm.

Beleskey is expected to miss 2-4 weeks due to a separated shoulder, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beleskey saw action in just 15 NHL games last season, split between Boston and New York, instead spending the bulk of the year in the minors. If the winger is out for the longer end of his time frame, it could open the door for Filip Chytil or Brett Howden to cement their place in the 23-man roster and once again relegate Beleskey to the minors.

Belesky injured his shoulder and will not return to Monday's preseason contest against New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Belesky laid a hit on Stefan Noesen and then got into a scrap with Eric Gryba, so the injury likely occurred during one of those two incidents. The Rangers should provide an update on the injury in the next day or so, but for now he should be considered day-to-day.
