Igor Shesterkin - New York Rangers - Lower-body **UPDATE** There’s a real chance that we won’t see him return before the New Year. All that is left to do is for the team to place him on IR and for fantasy managers to stash him until we get another update. This is a tough blow for the team and fantasy owners because you can’t just replace a player like Thompson.
Right now, he is considered week-to-week, which is actually a positive because it could have been a lot worse. The elite centreman left Tuesday’s game and was unable to return and the team followed up by saying he was going to miss some time. Tage Thompson is expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering an upper-body injury. Tage Thompson - Buffalo Sabres - Upper-body At this point of the season, if you can’t stash him on IR and need the roster spot, you can drop him and look for a replacement.
We don’t know how serious the injury is, but we do know that it will keep him out of the lineup for at least the next two weeks.
The young winger is off to a terrible start-collecting two points in 12 games- and the timing of this injury is just unfortunate. Trevor Zegras has missed the last 4 games due to a lower-body injury and the team has since moved him to IR. Trevor Zegras - Anaheim Ducks - Lower-body
