Lindgren was on the ice for the Rangers' morning skate and is officially considered a game-time decision. However, head coach Gerrard Gallant said there's "probably a better chance he's not" playing.
With K'Andre Miller suspended and Lindgren hurt, the Rangers could have to play with just five defensemen on Wednesday. Monitor Lindgren's status as the Rangers hit the ice for warmups at 7:00 PM ET.
Lindgren left Saturday's game vs. the Oilers with an upper-body injury and did not practice on Sunday. The Rangers have called him day-to-day, so consider him questionable to play Monday vs. the Devils.
Lindgren missed Game 3 with a lower-body injury but will be a game-time decision for Game 4 in Pittsburgh. The Rangers may go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen if Lindgren is available.
Lindgren left Game 1 briefly before finishing the game with 28:44 TOI. He was scratched for Game 2 and his status for Game 3 in Pittsburgh is unclear. Justin Braun will remain in the lineup if Lindgren can't play.
Lindgren left Game 1 but returned later and finished the game. Head coach Gerard Gallant said that he's "banged up" but will "probably" play in Game 2.
Lindgren scratched on Wednesday but was back on the ice for Friday's morning skate and is expected to play on Friday. Lindgren has not scored a goal since January 8th, posting just eight assists over 44 games.
Lindgren has missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to be back in the lineup vs. Edmonton. Lindgren will likely replace Zac Jones in the lineup and will be paired with Adam Fox.
With Lindgren entering protocol on Sunday and Jarred Tinordi entering on Monday, the Rangers are left with just six healthy defensemen as they get ready to start a three-game week. Based on protocol rules, expect Lindgren to miss at least four games.
Lindgren was set to become an RFA this summer but the Rangers were quick to get him signed to a three-year contract extension. Lindgren spent most of the season on the top pairing with Adam Fox and finished the year with 16 points (1G / 15A) in 51 games.
The Rangers are eliminated from playoff contention and only have three games remaining, so Lindgren will sit out for the remainder. Lindgren, who has been out since April 29th, finishes the season with 16 points (1G / 15A) in 51 games.
