Some quick injury updates as we await the game tonight in Dallas (or deadline moves):

  • Rick Nash had another MRI, and is about 7-10 days from skating again. Alain Vigneault said that bone injuries take anywhere from 4-8 weeks, so Nash could still be out a while after being downgraded to week-to-week. Nash has been out since the beginning of the month, and 4-8 weeks slots his return in the middle-end of March.
  • Jesper Fast took a puck to the face in practice, breaking his nose and a few teeth. He is expected to play tomorrow, but Dylan McIlrath will play forward if Fast can’t go.

All is quiet in Rangerland right now. The Rangers never let their trades leak early, and while I don’t expect anything to come until Sunday at the earliest, never say never. It appears to be a foregone conclusion that they will make a move though.

Update: Fast will play tonight. McIlrath is the healthy scratch.
