Adam Edstrom Returns to Rangers Lineup After Missing 33 Games

Adam Edstrom returned to the New York Rangers lineup on Thursday after missing 33 consecutive games with a lower-body injury sustained in practice. The 6-foot-7 forward skated on the fourth line alongside Jaroslav Chmelar and Juuso Parssinen, recording 8:24 of ice time in a 6-2 victory over the Maple Leafs. This marked Edstrom's second long-term injury in 10 months, following a previous lower-body surgery. He expressed feeling significantly better after working his way back into game action.
