Rangers' Arthur Kaliyev out for season with injury
Arthur Kaliyev, a forward with the New York Rangers, has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old player joined the Rangers from the Los Angeles Kings in January and has played only 14 games this season. Kaliyev began the season on long-term injured reserve after suffering a fractured clavicle during training camp. Head coach Peter Laviolette expressed his disappointment, noting that it's difficult to lose a young player who has shown potential. Kaliyev managed to score three goals and one assist during his time in New York and was often a healthy scratch in games. The Rangers are also dealing with other players sitting out. Carson Soucy and Calvin de Haan have not played in recent games, while Brennan Othmann was a healthy scratch for the first time since being recalled last month. On a positive note, Artemi Panarin is on a scoring streak, with 22 points in the last 20 games. He is having a strong season, reaching milestones that tie him with notable players in Rangers history. Igor Shesterkin is set to start in goal, approaching his career high for games played in a season.
