Report: Rangers prospect has a long road to recovery.

Rangers goaltending prospect Mackenzie Skapski aka "Ginger Skaps" has a long hard road to recovery ahead of him. Skapski tweeted on Tuesday that he had undergone successful hip arthroscopy to repair a labral tear in his right hip, or simply put hip surgery. Skapski is a very promising prospect, and in fact he played two games in the NHL last season winning both contests and posting a shut out, but with a reported recovery time of up to 5 months his NHL days are still quite a ways off. We will continue to track his progress and of course we wish Skapski a quick and full recovery.

Thanks for all the kind words. Surgery went well and looking forward to a speedy recovery.
