BREAKING: Rangers Lose Defenseman for the Rest of the Season

The New York Rangers have lost one of their depth defensemen for the rest of the season following a brutal pectoral injury.

It has just been announced that Ben Harpur, a depth defenseman for the Rangers who was playing in the AHL earlier this season, will miss the rest of the season after getting pectoral surgery.

Harpur, 28, has played in parts of 7 seasons in the NHL and has amassed 198 total games. In 2022-23 he played in 42 games with the Rangers. He has yet to play an NHL game this season and this season-ending surgery confirms he will not play one at all.

This is a noticeable loss for the Rangers and we wish Harpur the best on his road to recovery.
