Rangers' Stepan out indefinitely with broken ribs
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports
New York Rangers center Derek Stepan will be out indefinitely after breaking multiple ribs as a result of a late hit from Matt Beleskey in Friday's loss to the Boston Bruins, head coach Alain Vigneault announced.
Stepan was obviously shaken up after the hit, but continued to play through the second period before the team announced he wouldn't return for the third period.
Beleskey isn't expected to receive supplemental discipline for his late hit, ESPN's Pierre LeBrun reports.
