Blake Wheeler's regular season is over after falling to the ice and injuring his right leg, and it might take the New York Rangers going on a lengthy playoff run to open the door for a possible return this spring, according to multiple reports.

Wheeler was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Wheeler went down in pain and his right leg bent at an unnatural angle 11 minutes into New York's win over Montreal on Thursday night. He was unable to put weight on that leg and needed help getting off the ice.
