EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ -- Blake Wheeler saw his regular season end in the New York Rangers' win over Montreal on Thursday night, as the veteran forward injured his right leg.
As the Rangers prepare for their Stadium Series game against the New York Islanders on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the loss of the 37-year-old Wheeler was weighing heavily on them.
"As much as these guys are teammates, we lost a friend. He's obviously going through something that no one wants to go through, so there's more to it than just the impact on the team," said Rangers captain Jacob Trouba.
