Adam Edstrom gets chance in Rangers lineup after injury issues
The Rangers moved another veteran forward this week by waiving Tyler Pitlick, sending him back to the minors, and rookie winger Adam Edstrom is receiving the first crack at replacing him in the lineup.
The 6-foot-7 Swede scored a goal in his NHL debut with the Blueshirts on Dec. 15 before he was sent back down to AHL Hartford, but Edstrom then was sidelined for nearly two months in the minors with an undisclosed upper-body injury through Feb. 10.
Its always tough getting injured, right? No matter what point it is, but I got some really good help down there in Hartford and Im just excited to be back, Edstrom said after Wednesdays practice. Its great just being back up here and getting another shot. Its something Ive been working for my whole life.

The 23-year-old Edstrom was recalled from the minors over the weekend and logged more than nine minutes of ice time in Mondays 2-0 win over Calgary.
I think there would have been an opportunity for him to be here sooner, but thats just part of the business, Peter Laviolette said about Edstroms recent injury. Just the season that hes had, the training camp he had, the way he came in, the way he impressed us up here. Hes a big, young, fast, strong player that we feel deserves a look in some games.

Edstrom, the Rangers sixth-round pick in 2019, skated mostly on the fourth line Monday alongside veterans Jimmy Vesey and Barclay Goodrow.
Hes played well when hes been here. Big body that can skate really well. And I think when he has the puck, he uses his size to his advantage, Vesey said. So I think hell with more games get more confidence. I think he battled an injury at some point this year. So the more games he plays, I think hell gain more confidence and show what he can do.
Pitlick, who was earning $787,500 this season, cleared waivers and was assigned to Hartford on Wednesday. Laviolette called the move just a hockey decision. The Rangers cut loose veteran center Nick Bonino this month after he cleared but declined an assignment to Hartford. Chris Kreider was excused from practice for prsonal reasons.
