Injury Report Ryan Strome Out With Undisclosed Lower-Body Injury

[Phil]

Quote

Forward Ryan Strome sustained an undisclosed lower-body injury in the first period of the Rangers’ 5-4 overtime win over the Sabres on Sunday.

 

After logging roughly 5 ½ minutes over six shifts in just the opening frame, the Rangers second-line center did not return from the locker room following the first intermission. It is unclear when Strome sustained his injury or how.

 

“I don’t see anything serious,” head coach Gerard Gallant said after the game.

 

Strome, who has 15 goals and 30 assists, has only missed four games so far this season, when he was in COVID-19 protocol back in October.

 

Barclay Goodrow primarily filled in for Strome on the second line alongside Artemi Panarin and trade-deadline acquisition Andrew Copp. That new-look second unit logged 6:31 together, according to Natural Stat Trick, recording one goal and two high-danger scoring chances.

Hopefully it isn’t serious and he just needs a few days

Gallants shooting accuracy is below 3% in these instances 

[BrooksBurner]

Sprained vag now that Copp was put on his line. Now he wants to protect his market value. Next time we see him might be in Ottawa wearing a Senators jersey.

[Cash or Czech]

Short term injury a la Kakko/Rooney? See ya in the playoffs, Stromer.

[Vodka Drunkenski]

Let’s see how good Panarin really is now

[Keirik]

Is there any video showing what possibly happened at all? 

[Sharpshooter]

Is he going to be out as long as Kakko? He's been 'week to week' since about mid February, no? lol

[Sod16]

With Gallant, there are only two types of injuries, "minor" and decapitation.

Yeah, as soon as I read "not too serious,"  I said "great, bet he won't be back until like May."

Weak, too weak*

Center depth continues to haunt us.....Whether GG likes it or not, Copp is the best candidate for that 2c spot. I'd be pumping Barrons tires but....he gone.

Barron stinks. And frankly this is a great opportunity for the Rangers to see if they want to resign Copp at 5 x 5 instead of Strome at 6.5 x 6. 

 

they've got 16 games to figure out if Copp is a 2nd line center.

32 games if you count the 16 straight playoff wins.

Normally I'd agree, but GG really seemed to pour cold water on the first impression:

“I’m still looking for [more information],” Gallant said when asked if he views Copp as a center or a wing. “When Strome went down I said, ‘OK, we’ll put Copper in the middle,’ but it didn’t go too well for our team so I put Goodie in there to try and get it going again. 

 

“I would liked to have left Copper in the middle — he’s good on faceoffs, but the line just wasn’t jumping. He’s on the right side and we know he can move to center if needed.”

Because he's a very good 3rd line center, not a 2nd liner with enough skill to work with an elite playmaking wing. Kinda proves that Strome makes that line gel, and you can't just throw any old middle-6 center and it'll be magic.

I mean, how many shifts did he have at center? 5? Doesn't really prove anything. I'm surprised Gallant didn't let it play out longer.

Idc what anyone says....

Exactly. I’m a bit surprised too but I guess right now wins count most. Head scratcher part of that though is the GG started Geo.

Doc said my grandma was "day-to-day," and he was right, as she died two days later.

[Scott]

"Day-to-Day" just like all the rest of us.

If Strome made the trip to Pittsburgh, I'm thinking he's playing tomorrow night.  Otherwise why go?  Apparently it's not too serious if he's with the team.  I'm thinking he goes in Detroit.

Kakko's day-to-day injury is now over 2 months and 1 surgery.

I'm wondering if that injury was lingering for a little bit before he went out of the lineup, Josh.  He kinda just disappeared without any real sign that he got hurt in a game.  I don't remember seeing him down on the ice, or a shot of him in pain on the bench.
