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]
As a free agent from the Rangers, Scanlin secured a one-year AHL contract with the Hamilton Hammers, affiliate to the New York Islanders, on July 23, 2026.[8]
