The New York Rangers find themselves in a tough situation as Ryan Lindgren is out week-to-week with an upper-body injury. In Tuesday night’s preseason game, Lindgren fought Scott Mayfield in retaliation for his hit on Filip Chytil, and that’s when he supposedly suffered this injury.

Defenseman Ryan Lindgren, who fought Scott Mayfield in the first period of the 6-4 win after Mayfield’s hit on Filip Chytil had left the Czech center on all fours in center ice, will be out an extended period with an upper-body injury, the Rangers announced Wednesday.

With Ryan Lindgren set to miss time due to injury, rookie defenseman Victor Mancini has put himself on the Rangers' radar as a potential fill in to begin the season.
