Dan Girardi has played his last game as a New York Ranger.
The club will buy out the veteran defenseman's contract, ending his 11-year tenure in New York.
Girardi has a modified no-movement clause, meaning he would have had to have been protected by the Rangers in the upcoming expansion draft.
He originally carried a $5.5-million cap hit over each of the next three seasons, but will now be on the books for the next six years at a lower annual rate.
