injury report: Howden Suffered MCL Sprain; Out Of Lineup "For A While"

[Phil]

Brett Howden was injured during the first period of Tuesday?s game vs. the Philadelphia Flyers, and he is reportedly going to be out of the lineup for a while.

 

Once he undergoes an MRI the Rangers will have a more definite timeline, and who the team promotes from Hartford ? if they even choose to do so ? will likely give an indication of the severity of Howden?s injury.

hi Andersen--1st round bust

[Future]

What did he actually hurt?

[Albatrosss]

his ability to be a productive forward

Right knee

skated into an opponent, bent backwards slightly.

Not repping you again. :rofl:

Should be Holland or Letteiri based on recent play.

Also, likely role. I've got no interest in fourth-line winger Lias Andersson. Just bring up Letteiri, Holland, or Meskanen.

[josh]

Holland has been noticeable. Last year of his contract, give him a few weeks, maybe someone likes what they see and offer a late round pick

 

Probably be Beleskey or Brickley

I don't get how guys like Howden and Anderson are getting a tough time from this board. did you guys expect the next Sid?

 

I dont believe anyone can with certainty say what they are at the moment.

[Dunny]

Well, we can say they aren't very good at this moment

I dont think we've been too hard on Howden. Some of these things have been said about him from the beginning. Its just more apparent to the everyone else, except Quinn - which leads to more comments.

 

I dont think anyone is, or should be "done" with either 20 year old, at this point. The same people calling Andersson a bust are also dreaming about 20 year old college players, so its more of a preference of personnel, rather than calling out a guy for not producing, which, I mean, you can. With being the only high draft pick the Rangers have iced in 20 years, he comes with the highest expectations, whether its fair to put those on him, is a different discussion, but can be frustrating, as a fan.

Howden has had it pretty easy.

[Ozzy]

Well, we can say they aren't very good at this moment

 

That pretty much goes for the whole team, Dunny! :rofl:

[Gravesy]

It’s probably not all bad for Howden to get a little break. He’s been drowning for months.

Hopefully it’s nothing serious.

[Albatrosss]

he looked much better playing wing last night. had couple of chances. My hopes went up for him and came crashing down fast

[paddynyc]

It's a shame was looking forward to see how he was going to respond after the bye week.

I thought he looked pretty good on the wing as well. Depending on how serious the injury is though, I'm wondering if maybe it's best to just shut it down for the year, heal up, don't risk injury, have a productive summer and come back to camp fresh and ready to earn some ice time again.

Word, thanks.

 

I took a poop and missed it and hand't seen a replay.

[Dunny]

Looked more hyper extended than anything, but I'm just a ditch digger.

Isn’t that the same thing as bent backwards a bit? Just reporting what I saw, not diagnosing

[Dunny]

Yes, but I'm hearing sprain.

 

Micheletti initially said strain lol

[4EverRangerFrank]

Kid looked like he was making a go of it last night and could have scored early - that would have boosted his confidence. Unless he?s skating in a week or two save it for next season.

[Fatfrancesa]

There is still 30plus games and almost ten weeks to go. Way to early to shit it down
