The New York Rangers faced a devastating setback as Filip Chytil suffered a setback related to his previous injury, and Ryan Lindgren sustained a new injury. The team's woes continued with a loss to the Golden Knights at home. The lack of timely saves from Igor and a slumping offense added to their challenges. The team's recent performance has been disappointing, with a record of 3-6-2 in the past 11 games. Coach Peter Laviolette expressed disappointment and frustration, emphasizing the team's need to win despite facing challenges.
#NYR coach Peter Laviolette: “We needed last night’s, too. It’s disappointing. We’re in the business of winning. I know it’s frustrating. Tonight, with playing last night, against a rested team, in their building, travel, short a few players, that’s a big win.”
This does not bode well for Ryan Lindgren’s availability/the results of Jacob Trouba’s hearing… #NYR coach Peter Laviolette is scheduled to speak at 4:50pm https://t.co/UGvrD6zoUQ
Chytil. Lindgren. Igor's play. Loss at home to Vegas. 3-6-2 past 11. In recent memory, has there been a more down day for #NYR? One more chance to flip narrative for at least one game tonight in Ottawa before break. https://t.co/M96S6vtwFn

My #NYR story has been finalized with takeaways on the toughest day yet in an especially tough stretch, a devastating setback for Chytil, a new injury for Lindgren, the lack of timely saves from Igor, a slumping offense, a puzzling disparity and more 👇🏼https://t.co/U9rjZDYhmR
No significant postgame updates on Chytil or Lindgren. Laviolette confirmed what I (and others) reported earlier -- that Chytil suffered a setback directly related to his previous injury. On Lindgren, not much beyond upper body and still being evaluated. #NYR
