Hurlbut also played 79 regular season games, sitting out the 80^th with many veterans to prepare for playoffs.  He had one goal and eight assists in Binghamton’s 11 playoff games.

Other Binghamton players officially under contract so far with New York Rangers for the coming season include goalie Boris Rousson; forwards Don Biggs, Steven King, Daniel Lacroix, Rick Bennett and Jason Prosofsky, and defensemen Peter Fiorentino and John Mokosak.
