Adam Edström Hasn't Started Skating But He Continues To Progress From Severe Injury

There hasn’t been an update on Adam Edström’s injury status for a long time now, but on Friday, we finally got one. 

Edström suffered a lower-body injury on Feb. 1 as he was ruled out for the next two and a half to three and a half months.

That’s the last we saw of Edström. 

The 24-year-old forward has not been seen at any of the New York Rangers’ practices and he’s also yet to make a return to the ice. 

When asked about it on Friday, Peter Laviolette provided some insight into where Edström is at in his recovery process.

“He’s not yet (Skating),” Laviolette said. “He’s looking great though. He’s working out, he’s in here. He’s progressing as well.”

With just seven games remaining this season, it’s safe to assume that Edström won’t return for the regular season given the fact that he hasn’t even started skating yet. 

After playing just 11 games during the 2023-24 campaign, Edström carved out a consistent role in the Rangers’ lineup this year. 

He transformed into a reliable bottom-six forward who was really making some tremendous strides in his game before getting injured. 

In 51 games, Edström recorded five goals, four assists, and nine points while averaging 9:16 minutes.
