Rangers sign Luke Glendening to bolster forward depth early in season

Summary

The New York Rangers have signed forward Luke Glendening as they sit second in the Metropolitan Division, two points behind the Carolina Hurricanes. The deal comes after Glendening's professional tryout with the team.

His addition addresses a gap left by Joe Veleno's lower-body injury. Glendening has a career history of primarily playing as a defensive player, with limited offensive production.
