Rangers Extend Matthew Robertson for Two Years

The New York Rangers have signed defenseman Matthew Robertson, 24, to a two-year contract extension, with the first year as a two-way deal and the second year as a one-way contract at the NHL minimum. Robertson, a 2019 second-round pick, made his NHL debut in April 2025, appearing in two games with a plus-three rating. He spent most of the 2024-25 season with the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack, recording career highs of 25 points and 24 assists in 60 games. The extension bolsters the Rangers' blue line depth following recent trades of key defensemen. Robertson is now one of six defensemen under contract for the 2025-26 season. The Rangers are still negotiating with additional restricted free agents ahead of the next campaign.
