Rick Nash

Rangers rule out Rick Nash (leg) for Tuesday

New York Rangers forward Rick Nash (leg) will not play Tuesday night.

What It Means:

He is day-to-day with a bone bruise, but he was able to test his leg in the morning. Nash didn't practice, but he reportedly looked a bit tentative on the ice. The Rangers will see how he feels Wednesday.

Nash has 33 points (12 goals, 21 assists) in 45 games played this season and has decent possession numbers. His Corsi For Percentage is 50.2, and his Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength is 2.9. We project Nash to tally another 26 points (12 goals, 14 assists) over the remaining course of the season. The 24 total goals would be well short of the 42 he scored last season.
