Since defenseman Ryan Lindgren’s return to the lineup in Game 5, the Rangers have looked a bit heavier.
Ryan Lindgren was sorely missed on the ice by his Rangers teammates, when the defenseman was sidelined for Games 2-4 with an undisclosed lower-body injury that he suffered in the opening contest of this first-round series against the Penguins.
It’s evident that Lindgren is still banged up. The Rangers went with 11 forwards and seven defensemen in Lindgren’s first game back to ensure they weren’t caught down to five D-men if No. 55 had to retreat to the locker room. Lindgren also hasn’t really practiced since he got back into game action, indicating that he needs all the rest he can get.
“You know, it was terrific to get him back in the lineup and to see him play the way he did. He’s a huge part of this team. Huge part, I mean, on the ice and in the locker room.”Lindgren scored an empty-net goal in Game 5 and assisted on Mika Zibanejad’s 2-2 score in the second period of the Rangers’. He’s resumed his usual penalty-killing responsibilities without missing a beat. Additionally, Lindgren and his physical presence have been felt by the Penguins.
