Ryan Lindgren out several weeks with injury another test to first-place Rangers’ resilience
NY Post
The Rangers’ stranglehold on first place in the Metropolitan Division now will really be put to the test amid the loss of another one of their top defensemen.
Ryan Lindgren is projected to be sidelined a few weeks with a lower-body injury, according to a source, after the heart-and-soul Ranger crashed into the boards and fell awkwardly in the second period of the Blueshirts’ win over the Islanders on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
This is the second blow to the Rangers’ blue line in the span of 10 days. Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury announced after the trade deadline on March 8 that captain Jacob Trouba would miss two to three weeks to recover from a lower-body injury.
Now, with only four weeks left in their regular-season schedule, the Rangers will have to continue preparing for the playoffs amid another depth test and another new addition to the lineup.
