Rangers' Will Borgen: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
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.
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. Head coach Mike Sullivan said Thursday that the injury is the same issue Borgen previously dealt with, and the team will need to monitor it moving forward. Borgen's next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday against Utah, but whether he'll be available for that matchup remains to be seen.

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

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