There was a thought that it might be best for Mats Zuccarello to shut it down for the rest of the season as his foot was hurting after taking many blocked shots over the past week. It kept the Rangers winger out of the team’s 5-2 loss to the Devils in Newark on Tuesday, but it did not keep him from being a full participant in practice on Wednesday.
And now it looks like Zuccarello is going to give it a go for the final two games of the season, starting with Thursday night’s match against the Islanders in Brooklyn.
