New York Rangers defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk is set for surgery to repair a torn meniscus, the team announced Friday. He has been ruled out indefinitely.
The Rangers did not reveal details of how the injury occurred. Shattenkirk played 17:17 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres.
Shattenkirk, 28, has posted five goals and 18 assists this season. Saturday's matchup against the Colorado Avalanche will be his first missed game of the season.
The Rangers also announced that they had recalled defenseman Anthony DeAngelo and forward Daniel Catenacci while assigning forward Lias Andersson to AHL Hartford.
