The Rangers have waived controversial winger Sean Avery for the second time this season.
Avery, 31, who was waived in October during the preseason, has been a scratch for nine straight games.
He has three goals in 15 games this season, but averaged only 7 minutes, 1 second in ice time before his most recent exile.
Avery is expected to clear waivers, as he did the first time.
