Injury Update: Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette provides an update on Ryan Lindgren
New York Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette releases an update regarding defenseman Ryan Lindgren's injury.
Ryan Lindgren suffered an upper-body injury after fighting the New York Islander's Scott Mayfield, and would later be listed week-to-week by the New York Rangers as he was placed on Injured Reserve.
As the New York Rangers took to the ice this morning for their practice before tonight's game against the Detroit Red Wings, Ryan Lindgren joined the team and was wearing a regular jersey, but remains in a full face shield. As reported by Mollie Walker of the New York Post:
He's still on IR, but a good sign for the defenseman.
However, after the practice came to an end, head coach Peter Laviolette commented on Lindgren's status, along with stated there is no update on a return date for the defenseman.
Definitely not the type of update fans were hoping for, as the Rangers have really been struggling on the defensive end, especially after a tough 6-5 loss to the Utah Hockey Club on Saturday.
