Rangers Place Michael Sauer on IR

According to Katie Strang of ESPN New York, the New York Rangers have place defenseman Michael Sauer on injured reserve (IR) retroactive to December 5.  The fact that Sauer was place on IR should not come as a huge surprise given that he has not been around the team or skated at all following suffering a concussion during the third period of the Rangers game against Toronto.   Prior to this Sauer had been listed as day-to-day.
