New York Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren was injured during the Stadium Series outdoor game when he was hit in the face by the follow-through of a shot from Alex Romanov. Lindgren suffered a bad cut, resulting in his eye swelling shut and requiring ten stitches. Despite the injury, which did not result in a penalty, Lindgren was back on the ice for the Rangers' morning skate, wearing a full clear face shield. He stated that he's fine and ready to play in the next game.
#NYR Ryan Lindgren says his eye was swollen shut after getting hit with a stick on the follow through of a shot in the Stadium Series game. Ten stitches. He’s fine and good to go tonight lol.
10 stitches right under the eye for Lindgren. He’s very lucky it didn’t get his eye. He said the eye was swollen shut for a while, but a lot of ice has helped. He doesn’t look too pretty but said he’s good to go. #NYR

Ryan Lindgren is on the ice with a bubble. He took an Alex Romanov stick to the face in the outdoor game.
It was a stick to the face that got Lindgren on the follow through from a Romanov pass. Looks like a bad cut. #NYR https://t.co/YjR8mMX2pm
Romanov follow-through just clubbed Lindgren in the face. No penalty there, bad luck for #NYR, good luck for #Isles
