3 are routine for any extremity work.
The fibula can be further complicated because it can directly impact the ankle as well.

we shall see.....

Dan Boyle, Anthony Duclair, Tanner Glass, and Lee Stempniak all made their Rangers debuts in tonight’s contest. The Rangers have now had 1,000 players appear in at least one regular season or playoff game in franchise history.

- The Rangers were 5-for-5 on the penalty kill in the contest. The Blueshirts ranked third in the NHL on the penalty kill last season (198-for-232; 85.3%), and didn’t allow a power play goal in 51 of 82 regular season games.

- New York was credited with 18 blocked shots in the game. Nine skaters recorded at least one blocked shot, while three players (Dan Boyle, Dan Girardi, and Ryan McDonagh) were credited with at least three blocked shots.

- Rick Nash tallied two goals, including the game-winning goal with 1:50 remaining in regulation, added an assist, tied for the team-high with four shots on goal, and posted a plus-two rating in 14:36 of ice time. Nash has tallied 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 12 regular season opening games in his career, including five points (two goals, three assists) in three regular season openers with the Rangers. Nash tallied a game-winning goal with less than two minutes remaining in the third period twice last season. He also tied a single-season franchise record with nine game-winning goals in 2013-14.
- Chris Kreider registered a goal in the third period, recorded an assist, was credited with three hits, and posted a plus-two rating in 14:43 of ice time. Kreider recorded seven of his 17 goals last season in the third period.
- Henrik Lundqvist made 23 saves to record the victory while starting his ninth consecutive regular season opener with the Rangers. With the victory, Lundqvist has now won at least one game against every organization he has faced in his career. The franchise’s all-time wins and shutouts leader became the fifth goalie in Rangers history to play in parts of 10 seasons with the team (joining Mike Richter, Ed Giacomin, John Vanbiesbrouck, and Gump Worsley), and became the third goalie in team history to start at least nine straight regular season openers.

- The Blueshirts have recorded a point in 123 of their last 124 games when leading after two periods, dating back to February 4, 2010 against Washington (115-1-8 over the span).

- New York won its first road game of the season after establishing a single-season franchise record with 25 road victories during the 2013-14 season. The Rangers were the only NHL team that won at least 24 road games in three out of four seasons between 2010-11 and 2013-14, and they are tied for second in the NHL in road wins (84) since the start of the 2010-11 season.

- The Rangers became the first team in NHL history to have players wearing #61 (Rick Nash), #62 (Carl Hagelin), and #63 (Anthony Duclair) in a regular season game.

Martin St. Louis notched two assists, and posted a plus-two rating in 16:37 of ice time. St. Louis is 17 points away from reaching 1,000 in his NHL career.
- Anthony Duclair logged 11:12 of ice time while making his NHL debut. The 19-year-old is one of 18 teenagers who made an NHL opening night roster this year, and is the seventh-youngest player of the group. Duclair also became the first player to wear #63 in a regular season game in franchise history.
- Ryan McDonagh tied for the game-high with four blocked shots and tied for the team-high with four shots on goal while leading all skaters with 28:51 of ice time in his first game as Rangers captain. In 2013-14, McDonagh logged at least 25 minutes of ice time in 40 of 77 regular season contests and led the Rangers in average ice time (24:49).

The Nash- CK20- St Louis line made magic in those closing minutes last night.

Also gotta give props to the DuClair-Miller-Stepniak line too.

And how about Zucc fighting TJ Oshie.
Funny stuff with that little hobbit !

Weird not seeing Henrik not starting 2 games in a row when there's a day off in between. Especially the 2nd game of the season. But there's a home game tomorrow so I understand.
