BOSTON -- New York Rangers forward Derek Stepan suffered broken ribs and is out indefinitely after being hit by the Boston Bruins forward Matt Beleskey during Boston's 4-3 win on Friday at TD Garden.
Beleskey was not penalized on the play, but Rangers coach Alain Vigneault thought there should have been a penalty called.
"In our opinion, it was a late hit," Vigneault said. "It was more than a second, and he was a couple of feet away from the boards, so we'll have to wait and see.
