Ryan Lindgren will miss a few weeks for the New York Rangers because of a lower-body injury.

The defenseman left a 5-2 win against the New York Islanders on Sunday at 15:39 of the second period after he fell awkwardly with Islanders center Jean-Gabriel Pageau behind the Rangers net.

The injury is not as bad as initally feared, and the Rangers expect Lindgren to make a full recovery.

"It's always tough, especially a warrior like that who has played through so many injuries," Rangers forward Jonny Brodzinski said after the game. "To see him stay down like that, it's usually he stays on the ice for a second and he pops back up no matter what it is."

The Rangers recalled defenseman Brandon Scanlin from Hartford of the American Hockey League on Monday. Chad Ruhwedel will likely replace Lindgren when the Rangers play the Winnipeg Jets at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET; MSG, TSN3).

It would be Ruhwedel’s first game since he was traded by the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 8 for a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft.

Lindgren has 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) and is plus-19, second on New York behind Chris Kreider (plus-22).

"Obviously, that's tough," forward Will Cuylle said. "He's a pretty tough guy, plays through a lot of injuries all the time. It [stinks] to see him go down. Hopefully he can get back soon."

The Rangers (45-19-4) are also without defenseman Jacob Trouba (lower body), who left a 4-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on March 4 and was projected to miss 2-3 weeks. They have a four-point lead on the Carolina Hurricanes for first in the Metropolitan Division and are in a stretch of 20 games in 38 days that started March 9 and continues against the Jets, at the Boston Bruins on Thursday and home against the Panthers on Saturday.

Scanlin, 24, has 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) in 57 games for Hartford this season.

Who knows what a "few weeks" means...after all we're just under 5 weeks away from a potential Game 1 in the playoffs.  At least he's not out for the season, but his availability is still a bit up in the air I would think

Just thinking ahead here.... Would you rather sign Lindgren for ~$5.5M or Zadorov for ~$3.5M ?

Yeah, I love Lindgren....but I can't pay him that much.  He's kind of like Rempe in some ways.  As for Zadorov, not sure...if they get rid of Trouba then I might be more into it

So with Lindgren being an RFA can you keep him for 1 more year at something reasonable/cap friendly? He is probably looking for long term, but I don't think the Rangers can pay him that kind of money until they get the Trouba shituation resolved.

Cheaper replacements for Trouba are out there. He’s third pair now. It’s about cap, you can not have his cap hit on the third pair, especially when he was on the ice for some 16 goals against the during the Carolina and Florida series. He has to go. It’s up to Drury to find the right type for the third pair.

Not so sure a healthy Trouba plays on the 3rd pair

You mean his leg wasn't broken all season long?

Some chatter around there that the Rangers might also consider trading Lindgren...he's an RFA this year with arbitration rights and would become a UFA next Summer if not signed.  I suspect it comes down to what other moves are made, and I imagine they'd prefer to deal Kakko and/or Trouba ahead of that, but Trouba in particular is likely to be difficult to move so may end up being Lindgren

Lindgren is on the same road Ryan Callahan was on. The smaller, fearless, never quit, heart and soul warriors are awesome for the team mojo. But there are only so many beatings they can take. I would sell on Lindgren while he is still a decent d-man and before he starts to decline or suffers a serious injury.
