The Rangers can breathe easy today after an MRI exam showed no damage to the shoulder star acquisition Rick Nash injured while playing for Davos in the Swiss league Friday.
Nash may rest his shoulder on a day-to-day basis before returning to action for Davos.
The Rangers acquired Nash, 28, July 23 from Columbus, where he played his entire career, ending as captain.
Nash suffered shoulder injury when hit along the boards. He played another shift before sitting down.
The five-time All-Star, has scored 30 or more goals seven times in his nine NHL seasons. He went 30-29-59 for Columbus last season.
Glen Sather shipped Brandon Dubinsky, Artem Anisimov, Tim Erixon and a first-round pick to the Blue Jackets to complete the long negotiated deal.
