Is week-to-week
Laba (upper body) is week-to-week, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Laba sustained the injury during Wednesday's 6-3 loss to Washington. He has five goals, 12 points, 20 PIM, 53 hits and 30 blocks in 42 appearances this season. The Rangers are also without forwards Conor Sheary (lower body), J.T. Miller (upper body) and Adam Edstrom (lower body). To adjust to their injury situation, the Rangers moved Sheary to LTIR, sent Brennan Othmann to AHL Hartford and recalled Justin Dowling, Brett Berard and Anton Blidh from the minors Thursday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Poised for NHL debut
Laba is expected to make his NHL debut against the Penguins on Tuesday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Laba was selected by the organization in the fourth round of the 2022 NHL Draft and has finally made it to the main event. After wrapping up his collegiate career last year, the 22-year-old center had a cup of coffee in the AHL, logging 11 games for AHL Hartford in which he garnered three goals and two assists. Laba is far from a lock to spend the entire campaign in the NHL, but he clearly showed the organization enough to at least get a chance to prove himself at the NHL level.
