This news broke yesterday, but Brian Boyle is out indefinitely with a lower body injury. He did not play yesterday and won’t play tonight. The injury prompted the Rangers to recall Chris Kreider from the AHL. Kreider played 8 shifts for 7:02 of ice time during last night’s 6-1 win over Florida. It’s expected that Kreider will get the same amount of playing time as the Rangers comtinue to play must-win games.

A lot of people mocked Boyle’s injury. And while Boyle may not be the swiftest skater, he was able to eat minutes that Kreider is not ready to eat. The effect will be fatigue of other players. That’s big.
