The New York Rangers signed 37-year-old forward Luke Glendening to a professional tryout agreement on Monday, giving the veteran center another opportunity to extend his NHL career.
The PTO is limited to 10 days and restricts Glendening to practicing and training only; he is ineligible to appear in regular-season games for the Rangers. This marks his second roster attempt in just over a month, following an unsuccessful PTO with the Tampa Bay Lightning training camp this fall that did not result in a contract.
Glendening spent the 2025-26 season with the New Jersey Devils on a PTO before earning a one-year, $775,000 contract. The Flyers claimed him off waivers before the trade deadline, and he contributed 2 goals and 5 points in 18 regular-season games as Philadelphia finished third in the Metropolitan Division and clinched its first Stanley Cup Playoffs berth in six years. He added 1 goal in 10 postseason games before the Flyers fell to eventual champion Carolina in the second round.
Across 70 games last season, Glendening recorded 2 goals, 7 assists and 9 points. The center has appeared in 934 career regular-season contests with Detroit, Dallas and others, totaling 85 goals, 90 assists and 175 points, plus 11 points in 60 playoff games.
