There’s been a fair amount of chatter regarding the Rangers’ decision not to place Ryan Lindgren on long-term injured reserve following the left shoulder injury he sustained in Washington on Feb. 2…
Patrick Kane’s arrival, combined with Ryan Lindgren’s injury and K’Andre Miller’s suspension, has left the Rangers with a short-handed roster.The team would have had an extra, temporary, full-season $2.9M with which to work. They could have gotten Kane a day or two earlier.
It is unclear whether Lindgren will be able to rejoin the team for practices Tuesday and/or Wednesday in advance of the team’s challenging trip to Montreal, Buffalo and Pittsburgh that commences Thursday, but The Post has learned the 25-year-old has been skating on his own for the past few days. That is encouraging.
If he is sidelined throughout the trip, that would extend the absence to seven games, but he would be eligible to return for the ensuing five-game homestand that begins on March 14.Again, there is no reason to question the Rangers’ medical team. The hierarchy must expect Lindgren to return in a timely manner. If somehow his absence stretches to nine games or more, there would be reason to question Drury’s decision not to put the defenseman on LTIR. But not until then.
