Lemieux will miss 3-to-4 weeks due to a broken hand he suffered in Friday's win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Lemieux will aim to return Jan. 19 against the Blue Jackets, so Michael Haley will likely continue playing on the fourth line for now. The 23-year-old Lemieux has recorded five goals and eight assists over 35 games this year, and losing his physical presence (86 hits) will be a major hit to the bottom six.

Lemieux suffered a broken hand in Friday's game versus the Hurricanes, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lemieux suffered the injury in the third period. He'll likely be sidelined for multiple weeks, although head coach David Quinn did not provide a specific timeline for the winger's return. Lemieux has 13 points and 87 PIM in 35 games this season. Expect the Rangers to call up a player from AHL Hartford -- the 23-year-old will likely surface on injured reserve at some point in the near future.

Lemieux will be a game-time decision versus San Jose on Thursday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Lemieux scored twice, including once while shorthanded, in a 6-5 win over Montreal on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Lemieux doesn't always score, but when he does, it's big. His shorthanded goal tied the game at fives. Lemieux isn't much of a fantasy force, but it was a nice game for the buzzsaw.

Lemieux scored his first goal of the season -- on the power play -- in Thursday's 4-2 win over Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Lemieux was noticeable all night and finally broke through with a deflection in front. His net-front presence on the second power-play unit could start to pay greater dividends down the line for the 23-year-old agitator.

Lemieux was a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Lemieux was replaced in the lineup by fellow tough guy Michael Haley. Coach David Quinn employed healthy scratches as a motivational tool frequently last season, and that's likely what's happening after the 23-year-old Lemieux delivered just three shots and four PIM in three scoreless games to start the season.

Lemieux and the Rangers have agreed on a one-year contract for the 2019-20 campaign.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers extended Lemieux a qualifying offer in late June after he tallied six points in 19 games with the club following a midseason trade that landed him in New York. He's entering his last year of arbitration before potentially securing a long-term deal.
