Former Express Lee Baldwin is the latest former Express to sign on with an NHL club.
Today, he signed a free agent deal with the New York Rangers.
He played this past season with the University of Alaska Anchorage scoring 1 goal and 9 assists for 10 points in 32 games.
Before heading up north, Baldwin played the 08-09 season in Victoria. Prior to that he got his start with the Express playing 2 seasons scoring 7 goals and 33 assists for 40 points in 94 career games.
Baldwin becomes the second Express and University of Anchorage alum in the Rangers system.
