Given the severity of Fredrik Claesson’s injury, it’s safe to say that the Swedish defenseman will be out for the foreseeable future. Claesson left Saturday’s game against the Islanders after a hit from Matt Martin and was not in the lineup on Sunday in Columbus.
With Claesson’s absence, Lindgren earned his chance to make a statement in New York.
