Rangers’ Adam Edstrom Out for Over Six Weeks After Lower-Body Injury

by

Adam Edstrom, a forward on ice hockey’s New York Rangers team from the National Hockey League, is expected to be sidelined for several weeks due to a lower-body issue, specifically an injury. It’s worth mentioning that the Rangers selected this Swedish player in 2019 and he has been part of their squad since then.

How did Adam Edstrom get injured?

During the Rangers’ game versus the Boston Bruins on February 2nd, Adam Edstrom suffered an injury to his lower body. He left the match, a game that the Rangers ultimately lost and didn’t come back for. Interestingly, he was also missing from the team’s triumphant clash with the Golden Knights on February 3rd.

This season, prior to getting injured, Edstrom had netted five goals, provided four assists, and accumulated a total of nine points in 51 matches he played, averaging around 9 minutes and 16 seconds per game on the ice.

When will Adam Edstrom return to play for Rangers?

It’s predicted that Adam Edstrom might be able to rejoin the Rangers within six to ten weeks, although some sources suggest a potential absence of ten to fourteen weeks. If the team’s performance is not favorable, there’s a possibility he could miss the entire season.

As a gamer stepping onto the ice in our match against the Knights, I found myself swapping places with Edstorm and teaming up with Sam Carrick and Matt Rempe on the fourth line. Coach Laviolette shared during Tuesday’s presser that we’d surely feel Edstrom’s absence, but it also presented a chance for players like me to prove ourselves.

He commended Edstrom for his impressive rookie season with our team and highlighted his size, physicality, and speed as qualities we’d miss. However, he emphasized that this opening on the lineup was a fantastic opportunity for anyone taking the ice, including myself, to seize the moment. After all, I was grateful for the chance to get back in the game.
