Rangers' Stepan sidelined with fractured leg
Sep 24, 2014 - 10:41 PM New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - New York Rangers center Derek Stepan suffered a non-displaced fractured fibula during practice on Wednesday and will be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks, the team announced.NorthJersey.com reported earlier that Stepan was hurt during an on-ice conditioning test. He had been off the ice because of a foot contusion, which he apparently sustained when blocking a shot in a workout earlier this month.
Stepan scored 17 goals and set career highs with 40 assists and 57 points in 82 games last season. He has never missed a regular-season game in four years with the Rangers, and has compiled 73 goals with 124 assists for 197 points in 294 games.
The 24-year-old Minnesota native notched five goals and 15 points in 24 playoff games last spring, helping the Rangers to the Stanley Cup Finals. He missed just one game -- Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Canadiens -- after he suffered a broken jaw on a hit by Montreal's Brandon Prust.
