Updates from the Rangers on Thursday
1:14PM: Gerard Gallant spoke after practice and said (NYR):
- Were you concerned Trouba would hear from the Department of Player Safety, “No, I wasn’t really, from what I saw.”
- What was your view on it, “it was a play in the slot. Obviously, as great a player as Sid is, he does a lot of twisting and turning and spinning away from guys and Trouba went to play the puck and his elbow got up a little high on him but there was no intent. He wasn’t trying to hurt anybody or running people through the glass, that is for sure.”
