Edstrom (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Wednesday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edstrom suffered a lower-body injury at practice at the beginning of December. He was initially deemed day-to-day, but his recovery hasn't progressed the way the team had hoped, so the Rangers will elect to shut him down for the time being. It's not yet clear when the 25-year-old will be in the mix to return to game action, but he's slated to be sidelined until at least late December following Wednesday's move.

Edstrom (lower body) will not join the Rangers for their trip to Chicago on Wednesday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edstrom will be sidelined for his fifth consecutive contest due to his lower-body issue. Even when healthy, the 25-year-old center is far from a lock to make the lineup on a nightly basis and could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically. In his 24 outings, the Swede has generated just four points while dishing out 48 hits.

Edstrom (lower body) won't be an option for Sunday's home contest versus the Golden Knights, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Edstrom will remain sidelined for the fourth straight game Sunday, as he hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 29 against the Lightning. The 25-year-old will have a few days to potentially be ready for New York's next game, which will be in Chicago on Wednesday.

Edstrom (lower body) won't play against Colorado on Saturday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edstrom is still day-to-day and will miss his third straight game. He has contributed two goals, four points, 21 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and 48 hits across 24 appearances this season. Due to Edstrom's absence, Conor Sheary has been filling in on the fourth line, but Brennan Othmann is also available to play if needed.

Edstrom (lower body) will miss Thursday's game against Ottawa, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

EDGE Analysis

Edstrom also missed Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Dallas. He has two goals and four points in 24 appearances this season. Edstrom might draw back into a fourth-line spot once he's healthy.

Edstrom (lower body) won't be available against the Stars on Tuesday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edstrom has found the back of the net in two of his last six outings, his only goals on the season. With the 25-year-old forward on the shelf, Conor Sheary looks poised to get into the lineup Tuesday. Given his offensive limitations, Edstrom's absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers.

Edstrom (lower body) is day-to-day, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Edstrom was hurt during practice earlier Monday, and considering he's now labeled day-to-day, it seems unlikely the Swedish forward will be available for Tuesday's home game versus the Stars. Brennan Othmann was recalled from AHL Hartford on Monday because of Edstrom's injury and Taylor Raddysh (personal) potentially being unavailable against Dallas.

Edstrom (lower body) left Monday's practice early and is being evaluated, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear if Edstrom will be available for Tuesday's matchup against Dallas. He has chipped in two goals, four points, 21 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and 48 hits across 24 appearances this season. If Edstrom and Taylor Raddysh (personal) are unavailable to play against the Stars, the Rangers will need reinforcements from AHL Hartford on Tuesday.

Edstrom scored a goal and dished out three hits in Monday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Edstrom's tally midway through the final period would stand as Monday's game-winner. With the twine finder, he's up to two goals, four points and 42 hits through 21 games this season. The 25-year-old forward has been a consistent name in the lineup for the Rangers, who have been dealing with multiple injuries throughout the early stages of this season. While his numbers keep him off the fantasy radar in standard formats, he has recorded both of his goals in the last three games and has sneaky value in banger formats while serving on New York's checking line. However, Edstrom would need to continue his recent offensive production to warrant any pickups from the waiver wire.

Edstrom scored a goal in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Edstrom saw just 5:52 of ice time in the contest, but he was able to get his first goal of the season. The 25-year-old forward has played mostly in a fourth-line role throughout 2025-26, and he has occasionally been a healthy scratch. He's at three points, 15 shots on net, 39 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 19 appearances. Barring an increase from his 9:39 of average ice time, Edstrom won't be an option in most fantasy formats.
