McDonagh has missed the last two games after suffering a shoulder injury last Tuesday in Vancouver. He is expected to return for the final couple of games, but there is no word if he will be back in the lineup tonight vs. Carolina.
This comes as no surprise, we likely won't see McDonagh play until the last game or two of the regular season. John Moore will stay in the lineup while McDonagh is out.
This was expected after the Rangers announced that McDonagh is out indefinitely on Wednesday. John Moore will get back into the lineup and pair-up with Dan Girardi. There is still no timetable on McDonagh's return .
The good news is McDonagh did not suffer structural damage — nor either a separation or dislocation to his shoulder.
There are no further details on McDonagh's injury, but as reported earlier, the early diagnosis is that the injury is not serious. Traveling with the team is a good sign that he is only day-to-day.
McDonagh was crunched by Canucks forward Alex Burrows and skated off of the ice in obvious pain. According to reports, the original diagnosis is that the injury "is not serious". Expect a more detailed update in the next 24 hours.
McDonagh will return to the Rangers blueline tonight after sitting out their last game. McDonagh has 32 points and was a +25 last season but has struggled to produce offensively this season. He only has two goals and three assists in 17 games this season. McDonagh will return to the Rangers top-pair with Daniel Girardi.
There is no timetable for McDonagh's return but the fact that he is skating is a positive sign. Monitor is status prior to tomorrow's game vs. Tampa Bay.
It doesn't look like McDonagh will be in the lineup for the Rangers tonight after injuring his face and head in Saturday's game. There is word that McDonagh may have suffered a concussion on the hit by Max Pacioretty, but the injury still remains undisclosed.
McDonagh had just started to heat-up offensively after a slow start to the season. Monitor his status in the next couple of days to see if he does have a concussion. This is a tough break for the Rangers who will be without both their top-2 defenceman.
McDonagh was questionable after absorbing a bad hit from behind on Saturday. The top-pairing defender has thrived without Marc Staal, scoring four goals and 19 points over 46 games.
McDonagh left today's skate early but will be OK to play tomorrow. Start him accordingly.
