Mackey signed a two-year contract extension with the Rangers on Friday.
Although the Rangers haven't released the details of the deal, it's probably safe to assume Mackey's extension is a two-way contract. The 27-year-old defender has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign in the minors, picking up two goals and 11 points through 36 games with AHL Hartford, but he's also drawn into one game with the Rangers, picking up one shot, one hit, three blocks and five PIM in 16:27 of ice time versus the Senators on Jan. 27.

Coyotes' Connor Mackey: Earns helper in Arizona debut
Rotowire
Mackey recorded an assist and four hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.
Mackey was frequently a healthy scratch in his time with the Flames, but a fresh start in Arizona appears to mean more playing time. The defenseman helped out on a Zack Kassian tally in the second period. Mackey has four points, nine shots on net, 15 hits, six blocked shots, nine PIM and a minus-6 rating through 11 contests between the two teams this year. He's still likely to be limited to a third-pairing role, so it's unlikely the 26-year-old makes a fantasy impact.
