In February 2024 he signed a two-year contract extension with the Rangers.[4] He was recalled to the Rangers on March 18 due to an injury to Ryan Lindgren and made his NHL debut on March 26 in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers.[5][6] After Hartford was eliminated from the Calder Cup playoffs, he was recalled to the Rangers roster for the Stanley Cup playoffs.[7]
