Rangers Injury Updates: Buchnevich, Nash, Zibanejad, Staal

January 6, 2017 at 1:14 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose Leave a Comment

The New York Rangers announced that they have assigned left winger Pavel Buchnevich to Hartford of the AHL.  Buchnevich has been out of the lineup for nearly two months due to back spasms.

The 21 year old rookie made a sizable impact early on this season, recording four goals and four assists in ten games before getting injured.  While this technically isn’t an injury conditioning stint as he is waiver exempt, it effectively will work as one as he’s going down to play his way back into game shape.

Buchnevich is expected to play tonight for the Wolf Pack and head coach Alain Vigneault said they will monitor his progress on a game-by-game basis and go from there, per the teams’ Twitter account.

Vigneault also provided some updates on several other injured Rangers (all Twitter links):

  • Left winger Rick Nash is close but will not suit up tomorrow. He has been out since December 19th with another groin injury.  Vigneault hopes that the ‘bye week’ which for the Rangers runs from January 7th to the 12th will be enough to get him back to 100%.
  • Center Mika Zibanejad skated this morning and felt really good afterwards. He has been out of the lineup since late November due to a broken fibula.  There’s still no timetable for his return.
  • Defenseman Marc Staal remains day-to-day with an upper body sustained on Tuesday against Buffalo. He’s not expected to play tomorrow in Columbus.
