Rangers' Tyler Pitlick: Exits with upper-body injury

Pitlick won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Devils after suffering an upper-body injury.

Pitlick didn't come out of the locker room following the first intermission, and he was ultimately ruled out early in the third period. The 31-year-old forward is in contention for a bottom-six role. It's unclear if his exit will cause his status to be in doubt for Opening Night versus the Sabres next Thursday.
