Vitali Kravtsov‘s KHL season is over but don’t expect him to return
Vince Z. Mercogliano: New York Rangers Vitali Kravtsov had his KHL season end but don’t expect the Rangers to recall him.
With the depth they brought in at the deadline, and the risk of ‘rocking the boat,’ it’s not really worth it at the moment. They will likely reassess the situation in the offseason.
