For the second year in a row, Adam Edstrom had his season derailed by an injury. Limited to 51 games during the 2024-25 campaign, the 25-year-old appeared in just 35 games this season after suffering his second long-term injury in 10 months. Edstrom revealed he competed on a fractured ankle for six weeks before he and the Rangers medical staff decided he undergo surgery in December , keeping him out until early March. The lower-body injury that ended his season last year also required surgery. While this latest injury ate up nearly half his season, Edstrom was also a healthy scratch in the final 11 games. The extended time away from the ice has hindered Edstrom’s development, allowing some of his former Wolf Pack teammates to climb the Rangers depth chart and compete for the bottom six role he’s occupied since his 2023-24 debut.
