In addition, on Saturday, the Rangers acquired forward Will Lockwood and a seventh-round pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for forward Vitali Kravtsov. The club has assigned Lockwood to the Wolf Pack.

Leschyshyn, 23, joins the Wolf Pack after appearing in 35 NHL games this season with the Rangers and Vegas Golden Knights. Leschyshyn was claimed off waivers by the Rangers from the Golden Knights on January 11th.
