Othmann produced an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.
Othmann set up an Adam Fox tally in the second period. This was Othmann's second helper in the last four contests as the 22-year-old winger starts to get a bit more comfortable at the NHL level. He's added 16 shots on net, 31 hits and a plus-6 rating, though fantasy managers in redraft formats likely won't need to consider him as a depth forward in 2024-25.

Rangers' Brennan Othmann: One helper in March
Rotowire
Othmann has logged just one assist over 13 appearances in March.
Othmann's helper came March 22 versus the Canucks. The 22-year-old winger has been listed on the top line at even strength recently, but he's still seeing ice time in line with bottom-six usage. He's added 14 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-3 rating across 15 appearances in the NHL this season. He still has promise in dynasty formats, but fantasy managers in redraft leagues can look elsewhere for forward depth.

Rangers' Brennan Othmann: Heating up in AHL
Rotowire
Othmann has five goals in his last eight games with AHL Hartford and believes he's ready for NHL action, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports Tuesday.

His absence may have hurt his chances for an NHL call-up, but he is eager for his next opportunity. Othmann didn't earn a point in three appearances with the Rangers during the 2023-24 regular season while posting six shots on goal and six hits.

Rangers' Brennan Othmann: Back in NHL
Rotowire
Othmann was recalled from AHL Hartford on Thursday.
Othmann made his NHL debut in January and played in three contests. While he was unable to hit the scoresheet, Othmann managed six shots on goal while averaging 9:05 of ice time. Othmann had 14 goals and 22 assists in 44 games with AHL Hartford before his recall. The Rangers are hurting up front, as Artemi Panarin and Jimmy Vesey are day-to-day with lower-body injuries. Should either one remain on the shelf, Othmann could garner a top-six role Thursday versus New Jersey.

Rangers' Brennan Othmann: Five shots in promising debut
Rotowire
Othmann recorded five shots on goal, three hits and one blocked shot as the Rangers defeated the Blackhawks 4-1 in his NHL debut Thursday.
Othmann didn't look out of place in his first NHL action. Most of his 12:26 TOI was spent playing left wing in the bottom six, but the 2021 first-round draft pick (16th overall) also took a few shifts at right wing alongside Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider while Blake Wheeler served a third-period fighting major. With Artemi Panarin and Kreider locked in as the left wings on the top two lines, Othmann's path to top-six minutes at his natural position is blocked, but the rookie should maintain a spot in the lineup with Tyler Pitlick (lower body) week-to-week and both Kaapo Kakko (lower body) and Filip Chytil (upper body) on IR.
