Defenseman Ryan Lindgren has officially been placed on Injured reserve by the New York Rangers.
After fighting Scott Mayfield during the Rangers second preseason game, Lindgren suffered an unfortunate upper-body injury, which has sidelined for the remainder of training camp.
Following the situation, head coach Peter Laviolette was asked about Lindgren's status and he essentially confirmed that Lindgren would not be available for the season opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
«Right now it's still the same timeline.» Laviolette said. «He hasn't been out with us, so it's still the same timeline. Nothing has really changed.»
Lindgren did skate on his own, which is a positive sign. This most likely means that he will miss the first few games, but his timetable to return is still unknown.
