Lias Andersson reportedly won't be joining the Rangers when the NHL resumes. More details:
to SHL club HV71, where he appeared in 15 games and collected 12 points before the COVID-19 pandemic stopped the season.
Andersson originally came over to North America late in the 2017-18 season and in that time scored three goals and nine points in 66 NHL games and 15 goals and 39 points in 74 AHL games. His entry-level contract with the Rangers expires after the 2020-21 season.

Teams will be permitted to expand their rosters to include prospects and other minor-leaguers for those games, whenever they happen.
