New York Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren absorbed a hit from Keegan Kolesar in the first period against the Vegas Golden Knights. 

He will not return for the rest of the game with an upper-body injury. 

Lindgren was skating with Braden Schneider a part of the team's new defensive pairs. 

The 25-year-old rearguard immediately headed to the bench hunched over, and then left the ice and headed toward the Rangers locker room.
