PLAYERS: Derek Stepan,  Mark Messier,  Brady Skjei
TEAMS: New York Rangers
Katie Strang at ESPN.com reports that Derek Stepan, Mark Messier, Jeff Gorton and Mike Sullivan were among the spectators at Team USA World Junior Camp being held at the MSG Training Facility this week. Rangers prospects at the camp include JT Miller (2011 - 1st) and Brady Skjei (2012 - 1st). Chris Peters at the United States of Hockey previews Miller and Skjei's chances of making the final roster... Brady Skjei (NYR) — University of Minnesota — 15 GP, 1-1–2, 6 PIM Skjei has had some struggles in his freshman campaign, but his physical tools have remained evident. His high-end skating and good, solid frame keep him in the mix for the team. As long as he can play with some confidence, Skjei is a very good defender who can chip in offensively on occasion. J.T.

Connecticut has recalled defenseman Steven Delisle from Greenville of the ECHL. Delisle, who was the throw-in in the Rick Nash trade, has a line of 2-8-10 with a +19 rating in 29 games with the Road Warriors. His +19 rating was tops in the league.
