Report: MRI result reveals injury to Rangers forward Rick Nash.

The New York Rangers got some bad news on Wednesday, but considering the situation could have been much more dire they likely also breathed a sigh of relief.

Following the results of an MRI the Rangers have announced that forward Rick Nash will miss a week as a result of a lower-body injury (groin) he suffered on Tuesday against state rivals the New York Islanders.

It's a tough loss for a Rangers team that is already dealing with a considerable number of injuries with players like Michael Grabner, Jimmy Vesey, Mika Zibanejad and more. If the Rangers time frame is correct Nash is likely to miss roughly four games as a result of the injury.

Nash was in the midst of somewhat of a bounce back season with 11 goals in 27 games after scoring just 15 all of last season, the hope now is that this won't be an ongoing issue for Nash this season.
