All of the Rangers’ European players are back in New York as of Thursday night and following the NHL’s ‘Return to Play’ protocol as the potential start of training camp on July 13 inches closer, the team confirmed to The Post Friday.

The players who went back to Europe since the global coronavirus pandemic shut down the 2019-20 regular season in March include Henrik Lundqvist, Mika Zibanejad, Jesper Fast, Kaapo Kakko, Alexandar Georgiev and Filip Chytil.

There are still more Rangers making their way back into the New York area.

Players returning for training camp from outside the United States, or different parts of the country, are subject to the league’s ‘Return to Play’ protocol. This includes getting tested for COVID-19 when they arrive in New York and again before they can be cleared to practice.

The league is still in Phase 2 of the ‘Return to Play’ plan, holding voluntary small-group workouts at team practice facilities as players make their way back to their respective markets. Players are only permitted to skate in the same groups of fewer than 12 and are undergoing frequent testing. The Post reported Thursday that the the opening of team camps (Phase 3) was being pushed back until at least July 13.

According to TSN, the NHL is targeting July 26 for teams to report to their hub cities, confirmed by The Post to be Toronto and Edmonton, with the 24-team playoff tournament — Phase 4 — targeted to begin Aug. 1.
