The Florida Panthers just took a huge loss to their Stanley Cup Playoff hopes with the loss of Aaron Ekblad for 12 weeks following surgery. It may be an opportunity for the New York Rangers to find a taker for Tony DeAngelo.
The nature of Ekblad’s injury was described as a fracture in his lower extremities.
