Flaws:	Is very limited in terms of his offensive ability in the National Hockey League. Will often take bad penalties that place his team behind the eight-ball.
Career Potential:	Physical depth forward.

Player News

Kris Newbury or Michael Haley may play Thurs. | 05/23/2013 3:32 PM

News

Kris Newbury and Micheal Haley took part in Thursday's morning skate.

The Bergen Record

Impact

Brad Richards has already been scratched and Arron Asham is uncertain to play, so Newbury and/or Haley could be playing in Game 4. Coach John Tortorella wouldn't talk about his lineup for the contest. Newbury dressed in Game 1 versus Washington in the opening round, but hasn't played since, while Haley has never played in an NHL playoff game before and he suited up in just nine games with the Rangers during the regular season.

Kris Newbury called up to Rangers | 04/26/2013 12:18 PM

News

Kris Newbury has been recalled to the Rangers.

AHL.com

Impact

Ryane Clowe left Thursday's game with an undisclosed injury. Newbury has always been a pretty productive AHL player -- 20 goals, 42 assists this year -- but it hasn't translated to the NHL, where with the Rangers he's playing bottom-line minutes.

Kris Newbury could play Sunday | 03/24/2013 12:06 PM

News

Kris Newbury could enter the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Washington Capitals.

Official website of the New York Rangers

Impact

Newbury was called up by the Rangers yesterday. "I was real excited to get the call," Newbury said on Sunday morning. "Driving down here from Hartford I was thinking of all the things I need to do to help the team if I get the chance." He's an organization depth forward but has no fantasy value.

Rangers promote Kris Newbury | 03/23/2013 2:34 PM

News

Rangers.nhl.com on Twitter

Impact

Kris Newbury returns to the minors. | 01/25/2013 3:33 PM

News

Kris Newbury has been sent down to AHL Connecticut.

The Bergen Record

Impact

Newbury had seven penalty minutes in one game with the Rangers. He's an organization depth forward and has no fantasy value.

Kris Newbury is recalled by Rangers | 01/24/2013 11:53 AM

News

Kris Newbury was summoned from the minors after Wednesday night's 4-3 overtime victory over Boston.

The Bergen Record

Impact

The Rangers used Stu Bickel at forward versus the Bruins because Arron Asham (groin) was unavailable. Newbury has 36 points and 94 penalty minutes in 40 games with the Connecticut Whale of the AHL this year.
