Rangers ink netminder Mazanec to new 1-year deal

The New York Rangers re-signed journeyman netminder Marek Mazanec to a one-year deal Tuesday, the team announced.

Mazanec played 23 games for Bratislava Slovan of the KHL last season, amassing a 4-15-12 record before returning to North America to play for the Rangers' AHL affiliate in Hartford, where he went 11-6-1 with a 2.97 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage across 20 games.

The Czech native was drafted by the Nashville Predators in the sixth round of the 2012 NHL Draft. He was a restricted free agent this offseason before signing the new contract with New York.
