It’s been quite a while since Rick Nash tallied one in the goal column for the New York Rangers. As a matter of fact, he hadn’t lit the red light in 2016 thanks to a bone bruise that kept him out of the lineup 20 games.
So it certainly was timely for him to find the back of the net at the 11:14 mark of the third period, his first point in six games since he returned to the Rangers lineup. It was Nash’s first goal since December 30 and would prove to be the eventual game-winner to boot.
