The news broke today that New York Rangers forward Tyler Motte is out with a “significant” upper-body injury, which was sustained in last night’s victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
It’s important to note that Mollie Walker has reported that the injury that Motte sustained was not to his head. However, there is also no timetable for his return, which is not the news the Rangers want to hear with the playoffs on the horizon. Walker also reported that Filip Chytil is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
The Rangers acquired Motte from the Vancouver Canucks for a 2023 4th round pick.
