Josh Jooris left yesterday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return. Alain Vigneault announced last night after the game that Jooris has a separated shoulder and will be out indefinitely. Timeframe for recovery will be dependent on results of an MRI to be performed today.
Jooris was always looking like the odd-man out once the Rangers got fully healthy, but now will be placed on IR to make room for the returning Pavel Buchnevich. It seems that whenever the Rangers need to make a roster decision, someone else gets hurt and delays the decision.
