Chad Johnson not on AHL Transaction list as being returned to CT Whale.

…got to assume something is wrong with Hank. Why else would they bring Talbot up? Game time decision maybe.

Original Post:
Michael Fornabaio of the Connecticut Post reports that according to AHL transactions have Rangers recalling G Cam Talbot from Hartford for tonight’s game against the Islanders.

…hope this is just a precaution, but this doesn’t look good for Hank being able to play tonight after being struck on the knee with a puck last night in Buffalo.

…let’s just hope Michael didn’t notice on the transactions that the Rangers also sent Chad Johnson down to Hartford.
