Stu Bickel has a wrist injury so he won't be part of the New York Rangers' taxi squad.
He has been sent home to start rehabbing the ailment. Bickel dressed in 16 contests with the Rangers in the regular season.

Stu Bickel was reassigned to the minors Sunday after he cleared waivers.
He has served as a healthy scratch for seven straight games prior to being placed on waivers. Bickel has played forward and defense this season, while picking up 49 penalty minutes in 16 appearances.

Stu Bickel wasn't eager to comment on the Rangers' decision to put him on waivers.
"It is what it is," Bickel said. "It's been tough for me to get an opportunity to play any minutes on the backend to develop some confidence." Bickel has been a healthy scratch since March 8th and has only averaged 5:31 minutes per game when he does play. If he gets claimed by a team that intends to use him consistently, then he'll have some limited fantasy value because of his tendency to accumulate an average of two or more penalty minutes per game.

Stu Bickel may line up as a forward on the fourth line on Wednesday of Arron Asham can't play because of a mild groin strain.
The Rangers said Wednesday that Asham is "OK" but they didn't say whether or not he would play. "Playing forward or D? Obviously, I've got to be prepared to play both," said Bickel. "It doesn't really affect my mental preparation. I bring the same elements to the table either way. Obviously, naturally I'm a defenseman, that comes more naturally to me. But yeah, I just want to play."
