Rangers Prospect E.J. Emery's Injury Update
Reports indicate that E.J. Emery, a defensive prospect for the New York Rangers, will miss his NCAA season opener with the University of North Dakota due to a lower-body injury sustained in the offseason. While he is currently listed as day-to-day, there is some positive news as he participated in practice on Thursday, suggesting that the injury isn't severe. Emery, who stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 183 pounds at just 19 years old, was drafted 30th overall by the Rangers, a selection he considers a significant achievement. He likens his playing style to former Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller, emphasizing his skills in shutting down plays and facilitating offensive transitions. Emery expressed enthusiasm about representing the Rangers, stating, "I model my game after K'Andre Miller, so I'm not complaining about wearing this jersey."
