Rangers' Jaroslav Chmelar: Three points in last five games
Rotowire
Chmelar scored a goal Saturday in a 4-1 win over Detroit.
It was a beautiful tip that beat John Gibson to open the scoring in the first period. Chmelar has a modest five points, including four goals, in 23 games this season, but three of those points (two goals, one assist) have come in his last five games (nine shots). Chmelar has limited upside, but his massive frame (six-foot-five) makes him a dangerous net-front presence.

Through 21 contests this season, Chmelar has four points, 17 shots on net, 36 hits and a minus-3 rating. He should be in contention for a bottom-six role for 2026-27 after playing primarily on the fourth line during this stretch of NHL action in March.
