Ryan McDonagh now healthy and ‘comfortable’ being captain

After an offseason spent largely in a walking boot at his home in Minnesota, the captain still feels the “sting” of falling short of the Stanley Cup, but no longer feels any pain from the late-season injury. Having healed without offseason surgery, McDonagh can now skate without limitations or lingering thoughts of the injury.
