Rangers rule injured Arthur Kaliyev out for the season
NY Post
Arthur Kaliyev has been ruled out for the remainder of the season — including the playoffs if the Rangers make it — with an upper-body injury.
The 23-year-old forward, whom the Blueshirts plucked off the waiver wire from the Kings in January, finishes the 2024-25 campaign having played just 14 games, after he started the season on long-term injured reserve with a fractured clavicle he sustained during training camp.
“It’s really tough,” head coach Peter Laviolette said after the Rangers’ morning skate Tuesday in Tarrytown, ahead of their matchup with the Flames at Madison Square Garden.
“Another young player that we’re moving in and out of the lineup and he’s done some good things for us. He got back in the lineup and got a chance to make an impact and that happened. That’s really tough. You never want to see anybody go down. It’s tough.”
Kaliyev had yet to play in a game this season before joining the Rangers. He collected three goals and one assist during his brief stint in New York, over which he served as a healthy scratch 11 times.
Kaliyev is set to become a restricted free agent with arbitration rights at the conclusion of this season.
