Impact In that span, he's gone minus-3 with 20 shots on net, 28 hits, 30 blocked shots and 12 PIM. Borgen isn't typically a high-scoring blueliner anyway, but this is a notably long slump for the 29-year-old.

Impact This was Borgen's first point in three games since he returned from an upper-body injury.

Game-time decision Wednesday Borgen (upper body) is expected to be a game-time decision against Carolina on Wednesday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Impact Borgen hasn't been in the lineup for five of the Rangers' past six games. He has a goal, three points, 26 hits and 24 blocks in 19 outings in 2025-26. Urho Vaakanainen might be a healthy scratch Wednesday if Borgen is ready to return.

Considered day-to-day Borgen is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury and will miss Thursday's game against Colorado, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Impact Borgen returned from a two-game absence Tuesday against the Golden Knights, but he's still dealing with an upper-body issue that will force him to miss another matchup.

His next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday against Utah, but whether he'll be available for that matchup remains to be seen.

Slated to play Borgen (upper body) took warmups on the second pairing and is expected to play Tuesday versus the Golden Knights, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Impact Borgen was a late scratch Saturday versus the Blue Jackets and also missed Sunday's game versus the Red Wings. The 28-year-old appears to be set to re-enter the lineup, sending Scott Morrow to the press box. Borgen will continue to provide more defense than offense when in the lineup.

NOVEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Labeled game-time call Borgen (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Vegas, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Impact Borgen has missed the Rangers' last two games due to his upper-body issue, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. If Borgen is given the all-clear, he will likely step into the lineup in place of Matthew Robertson. In his 18 games this year, Borgen has managed one goal and two helpers. The blueliner will be hard-pressed to reach the 20-point mark this year.

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out for Sunday's game Borgen (upper body) won't play in Sunday's game against the Red Wings, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Borgen (upper body) won't play against Columbus on Saturday.

Impact Borgen was originally slated to play Saturday despite missing Friday's practice, but that won't be the case. Matthew Robertson is set to draw into the lineup instead. Borgen has a goal, three points, eight PIM, 24 hits and 22 blocks in 18 outings in 2025-26.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return Saturday Borgen (upper body) is slated to return to the lineup in Columbus on Saturday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Friday Borgen suffered an upper-body injury, likely in Tampa Bay on Wednesday and was unable to attend practice Friday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

Impact Borgen is questionable for Saturday's tilt in Columbus. He scored his first of the season Wednesday and has two assists over 18 appearances. Should Borgen miss Saturday's game, look for Matthew Robertson to enter the lineup.

NOVEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Borgen ended a nine-game point drought by getting in on the fun in a first period that saw the teams trade a total of seven goals.

He's at three points, 15 shots on net, 24 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating across 18 appearances in a top-four role this year.

Slated to play Borgen (lower body) took warmups on the second pairing, indicating he is ready to play versus the Maple Leafs on Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Thursday Head coach Mike Sullivan said Thursday that Borgen (lower body) is a game-time decision versus Toronto, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Impact Borgen suffered the injury Tuesday versus Edmonton despite playing a season-high 20:32. The 28-year-old blueliner will likely be replaced by Scott Morrow if he is unable to go.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Managing lower-body injury The Rangers announced Wednesday that Borgen is being evaluated for a lower-body injury, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Borgen saw a season-high 20:32 of ice time during Tuesday's loss to Edmonton, but he's apparently dealing with a lower-body issue following the matchup. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Thursday's game in Toronto, but Connor Mackey and Scott Morrow are candidates to enter the lineup if Borgen is sidelined.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes helper in win Borgen notched an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.

Impact Borgen has four hits and four blocks to go with two shots on net over his first two games of the season. The 28-year-old defenseman plays a heavy shutdown game, and that'll be enough to keep him in the lineup on a regular basis as a bottom-four option. He had just 15 points over 84 appearances between the Rangers and the Kraken last year, so there's not a lot of scoring upside in his playing style, which will keep him off the fantasy radar in most formats.
