Rangers' Victor Mancini: Sent down to minors

Mancini was demoted to AHL Hartford on Monday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

Mancini has yet to make his NHL debut, so his stint in the minors may not be a short one. Still, the 22-year-old defenseman impressed during training camp and could still earn his way back onto the NHL roster ahead of Wednesday's Opening Night matchup with Pittsburgh.
