The New York Rangers will be facing off against the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight in Scotiabank Arena. While once thought to be staying in the lineup as a call-up, the Rangers have decided the fate of former 1st-round pick Scott Morrow.
The New York Rangers have had to make a tough decision regarding defenseman Scott Morrow.
The former 1st-round pick was a call-up as a result of multiple injuries plaguing the lineup, including defenseman Will Borgen.
The New York Rangers recalled Scott Morrow from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League on Wednesday.
This comes after Vincent Trocheck was placed on LTIR, and Will Borgen suffered a lower-body injury during Tuesday night's game against the Edmonton Oilers.

Belligerent bill has been unleashed.
The Fate of 1st-round pick Scott Morrow with the Rangers
With news of Will Borgen drawing into the lineup tonight, Scott Morrow has been benched.
It's unfortunate we won't get to see what he's made of as a Rangers player, considering he's held his own with the Carolina Hurricanes in a playoff run.
But for now, he'll be able to observe Will Borgen on the ice and see what he does correctly on the ice, and learn.
Morrow has a higher upside than Borgen, as his role in training camp included special teams:
Morrow was given a chance to prove himself through training camp, as he served a role on the second-power play unit and played in multiple preseason games.
But for now, it's another stint of development in the AHL in his future, as he likely will have to work his way up the depth charts once again.
Morrow was acquired in a sign-and-trade between the Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Rangers.
