Brennan Othmann, the Rangers’ 16th-overall pick in 2021, was traded from the Flint Firebirds to the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League.
The 19-year-old Othmann, who is second in the OHL in scoring with 11 goals and 13 assists in 16 games, took to Twitter to address the trade. He made a point to thank both fan bases, adding that he is proud to say he wore a Firebirds jersey, while also providing insight into why this was the right move for him.
“I have two grandparents that are struggling with health issues and being closer to home to be [with] my family is what makes sense to me at the moment,” he wrote. “I hope fans can understand that.” Added Othmann: “I am thrilled [and] excited to start this new chapter. I hope I can make the fans as proud of me as I am to say I am a Pete’s. I am extremely thankful for all of your positive messages and posts. I am joining a team / [organization] full of history, passion and class.” 4-1 win over the CoyotesAfter initially being diagnosed with a stomach bug, the Rangers and Kravtsov later realized the source of his illness was a tooth infection.
“He had the flu [Saturday morning], came to the rink [Saturday] night and his teeth were really bothering him,” Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant said. “So he spent the morning in the dentist chair. I haven’t heard since then.” Ryan Reaves served as a healthy scratch for the fourth time in the past five games, while Ryan Carpenter returned the lineup after being scratched in the previous two. Carpenter slotted back into his usual spot in the middle of the fourth line, which bumped Barclay Goodrow up to the right wing of the second line with Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck. As a result, Julien Gauthier slid down to the right wing of the fourth unit.
