The New York Rangers announced on Tuesday that right winger Ryan Callahan will miss the remainder of the season and will be out indefinitely after breaking his right leg in Monday's dramatic comeback win against the Boston Bruins.
Callahan had an assist in the 5-3 Rangers win, but his leg was fractured when he blocked a slapshot by Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara late in the game.
Through 60 games, the 26-year-old Callahan has 23 goals and 25 assists and his 48 points is the second most on the team. He is also fifth in the NHL among forwards with 77 blocks, which is a big reason why New York is second in the NHL with 672 blocked shots.
Callahan was sidelined for 19 games earlier this season after breaking his hand blocking a shot by Penguins defenseman Kris Letang in December. New York has gone 10-7-2 without Callahan in the lineup this season.
