It was a tough situation for the New York Rangers last night when the team lost Blake Wheeler to a serious leg injury when they played the Montreal Canadiens.
The injury occurred when Wheeler fell backwards, and his right leg turned in an awkward angle as he took a hit by Montreal defenseman Jayden Struble.
The team is currently evaluating Wheeler's injury and are unsure how long he will be out of the lineup.
With this injury, the Rangers decided to promote 21-year-old Matt Rempe from the Hartford Wolf Pack.
