Erik Gustafsson of the New York Rangers (NYR) is out with a lower-body injury and will not be playing in tonight's game against Los Angeles. He was absent from the morning skate, but Matthew Robertson was present with the rest of the team. Gustafsson's condition is being reported as day-to-day. Despite the injury, he managed to take the ice at the end of the morning skate, suggesting that the injury may not be severe. Coach Laviolette mentioned that Gustafsson's situation is day-to-day and did not dismiss the possibility of his return for upcoming games during the current trip.
On Gustafsson, Laviolette said it's a day-to-day situation. Didn't rule out the possibility that he could return for one of the remaining games on this trip. #NYR
