Though he participated in the morning skate with the rest of the Rangers who took the optional, Lindgren did not play due to an aggravation of the shoulder injury that had sidelined him for 11 straight contests, according to a source.The Rangers could benefit from putting Lindgren on long-term injured reserve now and shutting the defenseman down for the rest of the regular season.
The Rangers are in a precarious position with Lindgren. If another blueliner goes down for any reason , the Rangers would have to play shorthanded for another game before their emergency recall would kick in. The Rangers already asked a lot of their defense corps — and the team as a whole — at the end of last month, when the club bent over backwards to acquire Patrick Kane. It would not be wise to put such strain on the players again if they hope to be fresh for the playoffs.
The Rangers would be able to exceed the salary cap and receive just under $3 million in their LTIR pool to call someone up from AHL Hartford.
