General manager Jeff Gorton says Tony DeAngelo has played his final game for the New York Rangers despite going unclaimed on waivers. Gorton said the 25-year-old defenseman has been assigned to the taxi squad but won’t be around the team after an undisclosed “incident.” The NHL’s other 30 teams passed on the opportunity to add DeAngelo when New York put him on waivers. Gorton said Alexandar Georgiev was fine after reports of an “altercation” between the backup goaltender and DeAngelo. The Rangers just re-signed DeAngelo to a $9.6 million, two-year contract in October. Gorton says DeAngelo couldn’t get over being a healthy scratch earlier this season.
