Per various media reports, the Rangers again hit the ice today for a double-session practice, with Ryane Clowe and Brian Boyle again not in attendance. As with yesterday, Derek Dorsett remains in a non-contact jersey, while Marc Staal did take a few shifts with Dan Girardi.
The thought continues that Clowe may actually be suffering a concussion caused by an inadvertant elbow from former Ranger Bobby Sanguinetti in the penultimate game of the season. Details of the injury and any expectation on a return, remain hard to come by and are limited to media speculation at this point.
Henrik Lundqvist took the day off, and was replaced by Cam Talbot.
Lines in practice today – per Dan Rosen on Twitter:
- Nash – Richards – Zuccarello
- Hagelin – Stepan – Callahan
- Kreider – Brassard – Pyatt
- Powe – Newbury – Asham
