In the midst of their longest losing streak of the season, the New York Rangers recalled prospects Brett Berard and Dylan Garand from Hartford of the American Hockey League on Sunday.
To make room on the active roster, the Rangers assigned rookie defenseman Scott Morrow to Hartford and placed defenseman Will Borgen on injured reserve. That leaves the Rangers with 14 forwards, six defensemen, and three goalies on the current 23-man roster.
The additions of Berard and Garand are likely precautionary since J.T. Miller is day to day with an upper-body injury and Jonathan Quick was banged up late in their 3-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth on Saturday.

Garand could back up Igor Shesterkin when the Rangers host the St. Louis Blues on Monday if Quick is not healthy. The 39-year-old goalie was terrific again Saturday, but appeared to favor his right leg after Utah forward Michael Carcone crashed into him, following a hit by backchecking Rangers defenseman Matthew Robertson . Quick finished the game, but Garand's recall may not be a good sign for the veteran's availability.
Miller was hurt in New York's 6-3 loss Thursday against the Colorado Avalanche after an accidental collision during a penalty kill. The Rangers captain was shaken up, but remained in the game and scored his second power-play goal of the night later in the third period.
Borgen's missed the past two games, and four of the past five, with an upper-body injury.
