Tomas Kaberle could play for the Hartford Wolf Pack Friday night as the New York Rangers hope to get a closer look at the free agent defenceman.

According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, the Rangers want to see Kaberle play in live action this weekend.

Dreger adds, however, New York must sign Kaberle to a Professional Tryout Contract before he can dress in the AHL. 

Kaberle has been skating with the Rangers for over a week.

The 36-year-old defenceman has been working out at the University of Toronto since playing two exhibition games with the New Jersey Devils in preseason action.

Kaberle spent last season with Kladno of the Czech League, where he scored four goals and 20 assists. He also played for the Czech Republic in both the 2014 Olympics and World Championship, tallying four assists in nine international games.

Kaberle had a tryout with the Devils this past August, but was eventually released.

He last played in the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens in 2013. He won a Stanley Cup in 2011 with the Boston Bruins and scored 87 goals and added 476 assists in 984 career games.
