The New York Rangers have released defenseman Matt Bartkowski from his professional tryout agreement.

Bartkowski, 34, has played 256 NHL games and managed just 48 points as a defensive-defenseman. His playing peak came during his time with the Boston Bruins following the club's 2011 Stanley Cup championship, and he would never fully settle in anywhere once he left the organization in 2015.

Since 2016-17, Bartkowski has appeared in just 45 NHL games, and most of his time has been spent in the AHL. Uncertain of what is next for Bartkowski, but it likely is not in the NHL.
