Rangers' Boo Nieves says he can't be afraid about concussion history

TORONTO — Boo Nieves would rather look on the bright side of things. He is with the Rangers now, and that is what matters to him.

The 24-year-old third-year pro is back up with the big club through the Christmas roster freeze after recovering from yet another concussion suffered in the preseason. It was at least the third documented concussion for Nieves over the last three years, but the 6-3, 210-pound center, a second-round draft pick by the Rangers way back in 2012, said he isn’t worried about the long-term effects of his concussion history.

“No, because I’m feeling healthy,’’ he said recently.
