The Los Angeles Kings were praying for a miracle when they waived Arthur Kaliyev yesterday, but unfortunately, he was claimed off waivers by another team. The Los Angeles Kings did something on Thursday that was a bit of a surprise, as Arthur <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/los-angeles-kings/los-angeles-kings-have-just-placed-one-of-their-most-talented-young-forwards-on-waivers' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Kaliyev was placed on waivers</a> after spending the early part of the season on IR with a clavicle injury. Arthur Kaliyev got into only five games this year with the AHL's Ontario Reign, and then it seemed like he wanted a new beginning. Indeed, he got what he was looking for, as <a href='https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers/latest-news/rangers-claim-arthur-kaliyev-off-waivers-following-rocky-tenure-with-kings' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Kaliyev has been claimed off the waiver wire by the New York Rangers</a>. The news was first reported by insider Elliotte Friedman. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1876343531251671085'> </a></blockquote></div> The 23-year-old forward, selected by the Kings in the second round of the 2019 NHL Draft, has recorded 71 points including 35 goals in 188 games. Although promising, the Rangers might not seem like a very appealing destination currently as they are tied with the New York Islanders for last place in the Metropolitan Division, both with 37 points. The Rangers have undergone significant roster changes of late, moving on from captain Jacob Trouba and former top prospect Kaapo <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl/trades/new-york-rangers-make-a-blockbuster-trade-sending-former-2nd-overall-pick-kaapo-kakko-to-seattle' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Kakko late last year</a>. Thus far, it has not even come close to working out, and this team still searches for its way. With <a href='https://www.nhl.com/rangers/player/arthur-kaliyev-8481560' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Kaliyev</a>, however, it's a different story. The young man has promise, and after trying to prove himself, perhaps a fresh start is what he needs to unlock it. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/KrakenGameBot/status/1508639543762726915'> </a></blockquote></div> When he finds some chemistry with new teammates, perhaps the missing spark will hit the Rangers' lineup. The team is back in action tomorrow against the Dallas Stars, a contest that very well could mark Kaliyev's first time dressing in a Rangers uniform.
