Ben Harpur's absence for the reast of the season will have a huge impact on the Rangers' defensive depth.
Harpur, 28 years old, has played in 198 NHL games over seven seasons. In the 2022-23 season, he played 42 games with the Rangers. Unfortunately, he has yet to make an appearance in an NHL game this season, and the recent season-ending surgery has confirmed that he will not be able to do so.
This setback represents a notable loss for the Rangers, and we extend our best wishes to Ben Harpur for a successful recovery.
