Rick Nash injury: Rangers foward hurts shoulder in Swiss league game
Nash, who signed with HC Davos of the Swiss League earlier this month, was taken off the ice for precautionary reasons and will be re-evaluated in a couple of days.
New York Rangers left wing Rick Nash injured his shoulder in a Swiss League game on Friday, according to Darren Dreger of TSN.
Nash's agent, Joe Resnick, shot down speculation that Nash injured his head, stressing instead that the nine-year veteran injured his shoulder, Dreger noted. Nash was taken off the ice for precautionary reasons and will be re-evaluated in a couple of days. He joined fellow NHL All-Star Joe Thornton in signing Sept. 17 with HC Davos, the same club that the pair played with during the 2004-05 NHL lockout.
Nash was traded from Columbus to the Rangers in July in a deal that sent forwards Brandon Dubinsky and Artem Anisimov, blue-line prospect Tim Erixon and a first-round pick to the Blue Jackets. The wing was one of the NHL's hottest offseason trade-market commodities and has relocated to New York after spending nine seasons as a member of the Blue Jackets.
Nash played in 82 games for Columbus last season and scored 30 goals while notching 29 assists.
