The New York Rangers have seen better days. They’ve been ravaged by injury and came into Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers on a four-game losing streak.
In Tuesday’s abominable loss to a New Jersey Devils team that hadn’t played in over two weeks, the Rangers suffered another injury-related disaster: defenseman Jacob Trouba broke his thumb and would miss four to six weeks.
K’Andre Miller, who was expected to return to the lineup after a one-game absence, apparently hasn’t progressed as the organization had hoped and would miss a second-straight game.
