• Cracks rib in postseason
    Lindgren said Tuesday that he suffered a cracked rib in the Rangers' May 16 win over the Hurricanes in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Lindgren was held out of a few practices leading up to the Eastern Conference Finals due to the injury, but he proceeded to play in all six of games in the Rangers' eventual 4-2 series loss to the Panthers, tallying two assists while averaging 19:07 in ice time. The 26-year-old will get some extended time to heal up over the offseason and should be fully cleared well in advance of training camp. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:24 pm
