— New York Rangers (@NYRangers) October 10, 2016Oscar Lindberg underwent a successful hip surgery in early May and was expected to miss the first month of the 2016-17 season. But it looks like the hopeful stirrings we heard a month ago about him being ahead of schedule were true.
Lindberg has been officially cleared for full contact.
The battle for spots on the Rangers’ fourth line is a fierce one.
