Per Larry Brooks, Jesper Fast is believed to have a separated shoulder, and will be out indefinitely. Fast took a hit from Alex Ovechkin with 11:18 remaining in the game and did not return.
Fast has been one of the Rangers’ more steady forwards on the bottom six. But the Rangers certainly have the depth to deal with this injury. I don’t expect them to make a trade in response. I’d expect them to keep Matt Puempel in the lineup, and perhaps recall Pavel Buchnevich.
