After a scary first period incident against the Philadelphia Flyers, New York Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh left the ice after being sucker punched by Wayne Simmonds. The rest of the game had a few scrums, pushing and shoving, and back and forth chirping between the longtime rivals.
The Captain did not return for the rest of the game. Head coach Alain Vigneault told the media, “We’ll know more tomorrow,” that was yesterday.
As of right now an update on McDonagh’s condition has not come out yet, but many are saying that he has a concussion and/or a broken jaw.
