Where have we heard this story before?
Rick Nash, who the New York Rangers traded to the Boston Bruins at the NHL trade deadline this past February, looked good with his new team early on. In 11 regular season games with the Bruins, the 33-year-old notched three goals and three assists on a line with David Krejci and Jake DeBrusk.
After sustaining a concussion in a 3-0 win against Tampa Bay on March 17th, Nash was sidelined for the rest of the regular season, missing Boston’s final 12 games.
Nash returned to the Bruins’ lineup for game one of the playoffs against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
