The New York Rangers are making a few changes after a second-round playoff exit.

Assistant general manager Chris Drury has been elevated to GM of the club's AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, while fellow assistant GM Jim Schoenfeld will step aside from that role to focus on his duties with the NHL team, the Rangers announced Tuesday.

In an additional move, New York GM Jeff Gorton announced that Wolf Pack head coach Ken Gernander was fired.

Drury was a candidate for the Buffalo Sabres' GM position following the firing of Tim Murray, but the Rangers reportedly blocked Buffalo from talking to him during the interview process.

He was promoted to assistant GM of the Rangers in September after spending one season as their director of player development.

Gernander served as head coach of the Wolf Pack for the last 10 seasons.
