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.

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.

Impact Borgen will not miss a game with the injury. He has one goal and two assists in 18 games this season. Borgen will team up with Urho Vaakanainen on the third pairing against the Blue Jackets.

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.

Nets first goal of season Borgen scored a goal in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Lightning.

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. The 28-year-old defenseman isn't known for his offense and won't typically offer much point production. 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.

Impact Borgen will likely also see time on the penalty kill. The 28-year-old blueliner has an assist, eight hits, six blocked shots, four shots on net and a plus-2 rating over five appearances to begin 2025-26.

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.

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.

Generates assist Saturday Borgen logged an assist in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Borgen has four points over his last eight outings, serving as a steady defenseman in a bottom-four role. 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.

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. For the season, he's at five goals, 12 points, 67 shots on net, 112 hits, 104 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 72 appearances between the Rangers and the Kraken.

Impact Borgen ended an 11-game goal drought with his tally late in the first period.
