Rangers' Ryan Carpenter: Gets first goal with new team
Rotowire
Carpenter scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes.
Carpenter sat out as a healthy scratch in the previous two games. He responded well, tallying the Rangers' fourth goal to add some insurance to their lead. The 31-year-old is the epitome of a defense-first fourth-liner, so it's no surprise it took some time for him to get his first goal as a Ranger. He's up to two points, 11 shots on net, 23 hits, six PIM and a minus-4 rating through 14 contests.

Rangers' Ryan Carpenter: Scratched for blowout win
Rotowire
Carpenter was a healthy scratch for Thursday's 8-2 win over the Red Wings.
Carpenter helps out on faceoffs and is a defensively responsible fourth-line center, but coach Gerard Gallant was looking to spark the Rangers' slumping offense Thursday, and scratching Carpenter proved to be a prudent move since the fourth-line combination of Barclay Goodrow, Sammy Blais and Julien Gauthier combined for two goals and five points. It may take an injury for Carpenter to work his way back into the lineup.

Rangers' Ryan Carpenter: Good to play Thursday
Rotowire
Carpenter (upper body) is good to return Thursday versus San Jose, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.
Carpenter was injured during Friday's 4-1 loss to Winnipeg and consequently missed Monday's 6-4 victory against Anaheim. Now that he's healthy, he can slot back in on the fourth line. He has an assist in three games while averaging 8:31 of ice time.

Rangers' Ryan Carpenter: Out Monday
Rotowire
Carpenter (upper body) will not play Monday against the Ducks, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
The 31-year-old forward skated Monday but he's still considered day-to-day after suffering an injury in Winnipeg on Friday. However, with Sammy Blais (upper body) back in action and Vitali Kravtsov (upper body) nearing his return, it's unclear if Carpenter will still have a spot in the lineup once he's healthy.

Rangers' Ryan Carpenter: Leaves Friday's game
Rotowire
Carpenter (upper body) didn't finish Friday's game versus the Jets, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Carpenter took a spill in the corner and his head was cut by a skate blade on the landing. He left the ice bleeding heavily, but it's unclear if it'll cost him any time beyond Friday. The 31-year-old forward has one assist through three games in a fourth-line role. If he can't play Monday versus the Ducks, the Rangers may need to call up a forward.

Rotowire
Carpenter produced an assist, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Lightning.
Carpenter helped out on Barclay Goodrow's third-period tally. The assist was the first point for Carpenter as a Ranger in his first game with the club after signing a one-year deal in July. The 31-year-old may not be an everyday player with his new team, though he's unlikely to see more than a fourth-line role when he is in the lineup. Carpenter produced 12 points, 136 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-11 rating in 67 games between the Blackhawks and the Flames in 2021-22.

Flames' Ryan Carpenter: Joins new team
Rotowire
Carpenter (not injury related) was on the ice in Calgary on Friday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Carpenter missed Tuesday's matchup with San Jose as he was traveling to join his new team. It's not clear if the 31-year-old center will immediately jump into the lineup for Friday's clash with Arizona or if the team will wait to get him into action. In 59 games with Chicago this year, the Florida native garnered 11 points and shouldn't be expected to suddenly start producing offensively.

Rotowire
Carpenter (not injury related) has yet to arrive in Calgary after being acquired by the Flames on Monday via trade, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Carpenter will presumably have to obtain a Canadian work visa before suiting up for his new team, so it may be a bit before he makes his Calgary debut. The 31-year-old forward has picked up 11 points and 123 hits through 59 games with Chicago this season.

Flames' Ryan Carpenter: Picked up at deadline
Rotowire
Carpenter was brought in via trade by the Flames from the Blackhawks on Monday in exchange for a 2024 fifth-round selection, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Carpenter has never reached the 20-point threshold in his career, so the Flames faithful shouldn't be expecting him to suddenly start producing offensively with any sort of regularity. Still, the 31-year-old center will add some grit to Calgary's lineup and should continue dishing out the hits.

Rotowire
Carpenter scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Carpenter's first goal of the season tied the game at 2-2 in the first period. The Blue Jackets responded after that, though Carpenter picked up an assist on Mackenzie Entwistle's second-period marker.

Blackhawks' Ryan Carpenter: Garners helper against old team
Rotowire
Carpenter logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights.
While Marc-Andre Fleury's return to Vegas got most of the attention, Carpenter's another former Golden Knight now on the Blackhawks roster. He set up Jujhar Khaira for the game-tying goal early in the second period. Carpenter is up to four assists, 72 hits, 35 shots on net and a minus-6 rating in 31 contests this year, so he's not a forward many fantasy managers will need to follow.

Carpenter set up Patrick Kane's tally at 2:09 of the second period. The assist was Carpenter's first point in seven outings this season. The 30-year-old forward typically doesn't make much of an impact on offense -- his career high in points is 18 from 68 games with the Golden Knights in 2018-19. He's added 10 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-3 rating this year.
