Alberts Smits Fantasy Stats

New York Rangers defenseman Alberts Smits (upper body) is week-to-week and will miss his second consecutive game on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers. The Latvian rookie was a late scratch for Saturday's tilt against Seattle, and it's now been revealed that the Rangers might be without him for several weeks. 17 games into his NHL career, Smits is still looking for his first point. He has recorded eight SOG, 10 blocks, and 17 hits. The Rangers recalled Marc Del Gaizo from the minors to bolster their defensive depth. Sean Durzi (undisclosed) has also been missing from their blue line recently.
