Nash has now skated for eight straight days as he works back from a concussion he suffered in the third game of the season. Nash said yesterday that he feels good and that his hands are there, he just needs to get his legs back up to speed. It is highly unlikely that he plays tonight or tomorrow, but Tuesday vs. Boston seems possible at this point.
Nash has been cleared for contact which is the next step in his recovery. As long as he has no setbacks in practice and handles the contact well, Nash will be suiting up soon. It is highly doubtful that he plays tomorrow, but monitor his situation closely.
Nash will travel with the Rangers to Montreal after he skates tomorrow morning. It is highly unlikely that he plays on Saturday or Sunday but he could rejoin the lineup next week. Continue to monitor this situation.
This is great news for the Rangers, shedding the no-contact jersey is the next step in Nash's return to the lineup.
This is great news for the Rangers as Nash continues to progress towards a return. Concussions can be very tricky and it is difficult to pinpoint a firm timetable. Continue to monitor his status, his next step is to join his teammates for full practice.
"Probably about four weeks behind, four weeks and three days behind is what I feel," Nash said. "This year the symptoms just held on, it seemed like I just couldn’t shake them...It was definitely a lot different than last year. Nash skated this morning for the first time so he is progressing, but it sounds like he will be out until mid-December.
This is the first time Nash has skated since suffering a concussion in the third game of the season. There has been a very limited amount of reports on when Nash is expected to return. There is still no timetable for his return, but this is definitely a positive sign.
Nash will miss his fifth straight game tomorrow. There is still no timetable for his return, it is usually difficult to pinpoint an exact timeframe when it comes to concussions. Continue to monitor his status as he works back to health, he could be a buy-low candidate in the near future.
Nash remains out indefinitely, until the symptoms subside. J.T Miller or Chris Kreider are expected to get called up in the near future.
Nash missed the last two games with a concussion and is questionable for Wednesday's game after not participating in practice.
Nash will be sidelined Thursday night against the Anaheim Ducks and Saturday against the St. Louis Blues, where the Rangers finish up their West Coast trip. He was sent back to New York, according to the team. Nash has a concussion history and missed time last season after a crushing blow from Boston's Milan Lucic sidelined him in February.
The Rangers have not announced that he has a concussion, but with his history of concussions; it is likely. Continue to monitor his status as more information is released. Brad Stuart was suspended three games as a result of the hit he delivered.
"I have a headache," he said after the game, according to MSG Network. "It got worse. It was a head shot. I'm concerned the way it feels."
Nash missed four games with a concussion last season. The Rangers did not release an update on his status after the game.
Nash is fine, and will be in the lineup in the Rangers season opener on Thursday. He will start the season with Derek Stepan and Brad Richards.
"Yeah, it's exciting," Nash said straight-faced. "I played against him quite a bit, playing in the West [for the Columbus Blue Jackets]. He's got an up-tempo style, but his teams are always sound defensively too. So it's been fun so far."
This would be huge for the Rangers who have struggled without Nash. The Rangers are 23rd in the NHL in scoring right now so Nash will need to step into the lineup and make an impact right away. He missed the Rangers last four games and had three goals and nine assists in 14 games before getting hurt.
Nash's injury is still unknown at this point but Nash himself said that he is dealing with "a few issues". It doesn't sound like Nash will be in the Rangers lineup tonight but it appears as if he is close to returning. The Rangers are struggling to find offense right now so they could use his services as soon as possible.
Nash will miss his third straight game with an undisclosed injury.
This is a tough break for Nash and the Rangers. The injury is still unknown but make sure to get him out of your lineup for the time-being.
