After receiving a huge hit in Saturday’s contest with the Philadelphia Flyers, New York Rangers‘ Viktor Stalberg is out with a head injury. That leaves Emerson Etem to step into the lineup. And Etem has some big skates to fill.
The 23-year-old has dressed for two regular season games so far with the Rangers. In those couple of games, Etem has no goals and one assist.
Facing the Calgary Flames, Etem looked slightly unsure of himself, still trying to adjust to Alain Vigneault’s system. But, at the very least, he was putting in work.
