Player News

Anton Stralman unlikely to play Thursday | 05/23/2013 2:02 PM

News

Anton Stralman (undisclosed) didn't skate Thursday morning.

The Bergen Record

Impact

He isn't likely to play in Game 4 and the Rangers will probably turn to Roman Hamrlik to take his place. Stralman doesn't have a point in 10 playoff contests, but he does have 16 hits and 21 blocks. His absence cuts into the depth of New York's back end, which means more ice time for Daniel Girardi and Ryan McDonagh.

Rangers lose Anton Stralman in Game 3 defeat | 05/22/2013 10:42 AM

News

Anton Stralman was hurt in the second period of Game 3's loss to Boston and he didn't play in the third period.

The Bergen Record

Impact

He took to the ice for just one second-period shift after he was hit into the boards by Boston forward Milan Lucic. "He's played so well that's a big blow for us as far as our matches and just our depth within our defense," coach John Tortorella said. Consider Stralman day-to-day for now.
