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.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

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 • 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 • ROTOWIRE

NOVEMBER 15 • 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.

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 • 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 • 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.

The 28-year-old is up to 14 points, 69 shots on net, 118 hits, 107 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 76 games between the Rangers and the Kraken this season. He's earned 12 of those points across 43 appearances since he was traded to the Rangers, but his offense is still a little too low to be trusted in standard fantasy formats.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Pots goal in Thursday's loss Borgen scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Borgen has four points, 19 PIM, 19 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 11 appearances in March. The offense isn't much to talk about, but the 28-year-old blueliner has chipped in decent category coverage that could make him an option in deep fantasy formats.
