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.

Kaliyev was claimed off waivers by the Rangers from the Kings on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Kaliyev effectively serves as a replacement for Kaapo Kakko -- a young, high-potential winger -- after the Rangers traded Kakko to the Kraken in mid-December.
