Ryan Lindgren has Rangers’ attention in uphill roster battle

Ryan Lindgren knows the Rangers’ blue line is crowded with talent and running out of room.

But the 21-year-old isn’t counting himself out of that equation just yet.

The Rangers wanted to see Lindgren play both ends of the preseason back-to-back Friday and Saturday, and the defenseman responded with two solid and physical games to give the staff something to think about as it continues to shape its roster.

“Obviously there’s a lot of good D, but I think I’m right there,” Lindgren said Saturday after the Rangers’ 4-1 loss to the Flyers in Philadelphia.
