The New York Rangers have added winger Arthur Kaliyev, recently claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings, as they seek to address their performance struggles this season. The 23-year-old player fills the gap left by Kaapo Kakko, who was traded to Seattle last month. Kaliyev, recovering from a clavicle injury sustained in September, has yet to play in the NHL this season.

With the Kings placing him on waivers to accommodate returning players, the Rangers took advantage of their waiver priority. Kaliyev, who has shown potential with 35 goals and 36 assists over his NHL career, is set to join New York's offensive lineup as the team fights to improve its standings.
