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.

Artemi Panarin did not practice Wednesday due to a lower-body injury that was reported after Tuesday's game, but he is day to day, according to NHL.com. Hopefully, Panarin can return soon and get ready for the start of the regular season for the Rangers, as he is arguably their best and most important offensive player.

Lindgren got into an altercation with Islanders defenseman Scott Mayfield after Mayfield leveled Filip Chytil with a hard open-ice hit, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Rangers forward Artemi Panarin and defenceman Ryan Lindgren both exited Tuesday’s game early after they sustained a lower-body and upper-body injury respectively.
