It could have been worse.
The results of Rick Nash's MRI on his groin are in and the forward is expected to miss a week, the New York Rangers announced Wednesday evening.
Nash was hurt Tuesday in Brooklyn, and was forced from his team's loss to the Islanders.
The former first overall pick - way back in 2002 - is enjoying a bounce-back season. He scored only 15 goals in 2015-16, finishing with a career-low 36 points in 60 games. This season, Nash has 11 goals and seven assists in 27 games, shooting 14.1 percent.
The Rangers boast the NHL's top offense with 97 goals.
