After skating on the right wing of the third line alongside Chris Kreider and Filip Chytil on Tuesday night, Kaliyev has already played with six different Rangers. He also lined up next to Brett Berard and Jonny Brodzinski in his Blueshirts debut before skating next to Jimmy Vesey and Sam Carrick in the following contest.

Arthur Kaliyev scored his first goal as a member of the New York Rangers on Thursday night against the Utah Hockey Club. Kaliyev capitalized on a rebound from Filip Chytil’s shot, finding the back of the net for the first time this season.

Very exciting night for New York Rangers' newly acquired forward Arthur Kaliyev as he scores his first goal as a member of the New York Rangers organization on Thursday night against the Utah Hockey Club.

The New York Rangers claimed forward Arthur Kaliyev off waivers Monday from the Los Angeles Kings. The 23-year-old wing has not played in the NHL this season after recovering from a broken clavicle suffered in training camp. He played five AHL games as part of a conditioning stint in December but didn’t appear for the Kings before going on waivers.

If Kaliyev can revive his NHL trajectory with the Rangers, his shot will likely sit at the center of the resurgence.

Arthur Kaliyev, claimed by NYR, is a developing shoot-first winger. Never able to break out of sheltered fourth line minutes with the Kings. Loves chucking one-timers and perimeter shots and has shown some usefulness getting pucks out of the defensive zone. #NYR pic.twitter.com/VZ0UIOnq8U

The New York Rangers claimed winger Arthur Kaliyev off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings on Monday, giving the struggling team a low-cost, low-risk young player to fill the void left by trading Kaapo Kakko to Seattle last month.
