It’s all concerning the March 7 trade deadline and it’s all a couple of push for the playoffs.
However the twains met at UBS Arena on Tuesday night when the Blueshirts recorded a 5-1 victory over the Islanders to stay two points out of the conference’s second wild-card spot on an evening where top-four defensemen K’Andre Miller and Adam Fox were each forced out of the sport by the three:16 mark of the third period.
Miller — who took two second-period shifts before repairing to the room with 13:41 remaining within the second period — and Fox — who grabbed his left shoulder after an entanglement in front with Kyle MacLean for which No. 23 was called for hooking at 3:16 of the third — are each being “evaluated,” per head coach Peter Laviolette.
But when either or each can be down for the long run, the Rangers may not have the ability to maneuver pending free agent Ryan Lindgren on the deadline.
