Rick Nash Could Be X-Factor For New York Rangers In Playoffs
- 8 years ago
The New York Rangers haven’t seen Rick Nash on the ice since Jan. 22 when he went out with a leg injury.
Since then the Rangers thought it would only be a little while they would be without their star forward, but the bone bruise and its complications have deprived the Rangers of their most consistent goal-scoring threat.
That could change as Alain Vigneault believes Nash will be back in 10-14 days.
In Nash’s absence, they have gone 11-4-1 and have played a much better brand of hockey as of late.
Adding a healthy and rested Nash would be a huge boon to the Rangers.
He is, despite his struggles earlier this year, the team’s most consistent scoring threat.
