Rangers' Kaliyev Out for Season with Injury

New York Rangers forward Arthur Kaliyev is out for the rest of the season due to an upper-body injury sustained on March 11 against the Winnipeg Jets. Kaliyev, 23, was claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings in January, having missed the early part of the season with a fractured clavicle. In his brief 14-game stint with the Rangers, he recorded three goals and one assist. Despite being a promising young player, Kaliyev's season was marred by injuries, and he will become a restricted free agent this offseason. His absence is a blow to the Rangers, who are clinging to a narrow playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers, currently holding the final playoff spot, will face the Calgary Flames next in their pursuit to remain in contention.
