Gerard Gallant swatted away the line of questioning as soon as he sat down.
“No concern,” he said of Ryan Lindgren’s Game 1 availability against the Hurricanes. “Nothing, no concern. Give him the extra day.”
Lindgren wasn’t a participant at practice on Tuesday, sitting for what the Rangers deemed maintenance. After he sat for three games in the team’s first-round series against the Penguins with an injury, it’s likely a safe assumption that Lindgren is continuing to deal with the same ailment that kept him out. In the postseason, though, he will play through what he needs to play through.Familiarity is the calling card of this defensive corps.
So it is hardly a shock that last season’s Norris Trophy winner looked out of sorts with Justin Braun by his side. That is no knock on Braun, who did enough to stay in the lineup once Lindgren returned, but it will make a difference for the Rangers to play the second round with their top four intact.
“It’s huge,” Gallant said. “They played together for a long time, as you know. Lindgren, the way he battles and competes, they read off each other well.”
