Rangers F Adam Sykora (Lower-Body Injury) Out for 4-5 Months
The injury could narrow New York’s final forward competition, with only four preseason games left before the regular-season opener, analysts said.
- On Wednesday, the New York Rangers announced that forward Adam Sykora will miss four to five months with a lower-body injury sustained during Monday's preseason opener against the New Jersey Devils.
- During the first period of Monday's game, Sykora sustained the injury after a hard hit from New Jersey Devils defenseman Mikael Diotte, causing him to fall awkwardly into the boards.
- The former second-round pick recorded three goals and one assist across 11 games last season and faced competition for roster spots from forwards Tye Kartye, Joe Veleno, and Jaroslav Chmelar.
- Sykora's absence removes a primary competitor from the Rangers' training camp battles, forcing the team to re-evaluate lineup options before the regular-season opener against the Boston Bruins.
- Medical projections indicate the forward will not return to the ice before 2027, with recovery potentially extending through the All-Star break in February.
