It was announced on Wednesday that Zuccarello was taking part in the Rangers skate in preparation for Thursday’s game against the New York Islanders, and will be in the lineup.
This was despite an announcement after Tuesday’s game against New Jersey that stated he was having trouble walking and would undergo an MRI.
Under most circumstances, the smart choice would be to keep Zuccarello out of the line up.
With the Rangers out of the playoffs and pretty much set in their draft position this offseason, these last two games are meaningless.
