Rangers Secure Ryan Lindgren with One-Year, $4.5 Million Deal

The 26-year-old defenseman avoids arbitration and will enter unrestricted free agency next summer.

Lindgren has been a key player for the Rangers, often paired with Adam Fox on the top defensive line.
He averaged over 19 minutes of ice time last season, increasing to over 20 minutes during the playoffs.
Lindgren's physical style has made him a fan favorite, though it has also led to periodic injuries.
The new contract allows the Rangers to focus on other key players, including star goalie Igor Shesterkin.
Lindgren's performance metrics dipped last season, making the upcoming season crucial for his career.
