EDMONTON, Alberta — Alberts Smits is considered week to week with an upper-body injury, the Rangers announced Monday. The rookie defenseman had appeared in all 17 games for the Rangers before he was a last-minute scratch for the win over Seattle on Saturday. Despite taking warmups against the Kraken, Smits ultimately didn’t dress and watched from the press box with the other scratches for the first time this season.
