from Andrew Gross of Ranger Rants,

Rick Nash will miss at least the Rangers’ next two games after suffering a head injury on Brad Stuart’s shoulder check in Tuesday night’s 9-2 loss at San Jose, for which the Sharks defenseman was suspended three games by the NHL on Wednesday.

The Rangers announced today that Nash has been sent back to New York so he will not dress for tonight’s game at Anaheim or Saturday’s game at St. Louis.

Newsday’s Steve Zipay, out in Anaheim for today’s morning skate, further reports that Nash will not be undergoing further evaluations, he just does not feel well enough to play at this time. After Saturday, the Rangers do not play again until Wednesday at Washington so Nash and the Rangers do have the luxury of some built-in recovery time.
