Though Rangers’ 2018 first-round pick Nils Lundkvist suffered an injury at the World Junior Summer Showcase, the damage is not believed to be serious, Lulea HF tells Blueshirt Banter.
“(We) had received news that the MRI showed no serious injury,” Lulea PR went on to say. “(We) do not expect him on the ice next week, but the week after that.”
Lundqvist, 19, has been deemed unavailable for the remainder of the World Junior Summer Showcase following an apparent ankle injury last Sunday.
Lulea plays its first preseason game on August 15th, with formal play beginning at the end of the month.
