Forwards (18) - Pavel Buchnevich, Filip Chytil, Phillip Di Giuseppe, Jesper Fast, Steven Fogarty, Julien Gauthier, Tim Gettinger, Brett Howden, Kaapo Kakko, Vitali Kravtsov, Chris Kreider, Brendan Lemieux, Vinni Lettieri, Greg McKegg, Danny O’Regan, Artemi Panarin, Ryan Strome, Mika Zibanejad

The only names that differ from the training camp roster are Adam Huska, Micheal Haley and K’Andre Miller. Miller is ineligible to participate once play resumes being that his contract doesn’t begin until next season, while Micheal Haley remains on injured reserve dating back to a prior injury. With the Rangers also bringing their three-headed goalie tandem to Toronto, Adam Huska was the lone goaltender excluded from the final roster.
The Rangers departed for the Toronto hub earlier this afternoon where they will begin play on August 1 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
