The New York Rangers signed Brady Skjei to an entry-level contract Wednesday.
Skjei - the Rangers' 2012 first-round pick - agreed to terms and will join the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League, where he will play the rest of the season.
The 21-year-old played for the University of Minnesota, which was recently eliminated in the NCAA College Hockey Tournament by Minnesota-Duluth.
Skjei had one goal and 10 points in 33 games.
