Ryan Lindgren’s full Rangers practice doesn’t change his injury standing
NY Post
Ryan Lindgren was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice for the first time since suffering an upper-body injury in a fight with Scott Mayfield during the Sept. 22 exhibition match at the Garden.
The defenseman, who remains on IR, skated on a fourth pair with Chad Ruhwedel.
It is unclear whether Lindgren, still wearing a full face shield, will be available on the club’s three-game trip that starts Thursday in Detroit preceding matches in Toronto on Saturday and Montreal next Tuesday, Oct. 22.
“He’s still listed the same way so we’re going to stay with that,” head coach Peter Laviolette said when asked about Lindgren’s status. “He was out there today, a full practice with no restrictions and that was good.”
If the seven defensemen on the active roster remain healthy, the hierarchy will face multiple decisions once Lindgren is cleared.
Will the team stick with the K’Andre Miller-Adam Fox first pair or will Laviolette go back to the previously inviolate Lindgren-Fox duo that would create a ripple effect impacting all three tandems?
