Here comes a glimpse of the early returns as the Rangers believe defenseman Ryan Lindgren is ready for his look in the NHL, so they called him up from AHL Hartford on Monday and he is expected to play in Tuesday night’s Garden match against the Hurricanes.
Lindgren, 20, was part of the deal last season that sent Rick Nash to the Bruins. He was Boston’s 2016 second-round pick (No. 49 overall) and went on to spend two years at the University of Minnesota. He joined the Wolf Pack after his sophomore season, and after being in the Rangers’ training camp this year, the lefty shot has zero goals and five assists to go along with a plus-7 rating in 35 games.
