Klein has an oblique injury, and Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault said the defenseman will be out 2-to-3 weeks, Pat Leonard of New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Klein was quickly TKO'd from Monday's contest against the Hurricanes because of the ailment, turning in just 2:22 TOI. While the Rangers could always call up an extra defenseman with Klein unavailable, it's possible that they will just stick with spare player Dylan McIlrath, who's already on board with the parent club.
