GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Rangers forwards Jesper Fast and Mats Zuccarello aren’t expected to play Tuesday when the Rangers visit the Devils in Newark, and Fast may be done for the rest of the season, coach Alain Vigneault said after practice Monday.
“[Fast has] got a bad groin here, and probably won’t be available for the rest of the year,’’ Vigneault said of Fast, who has played well as the right wing on the top line with Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad. “I know he’s going to try real hard to come back, but I would not count on it.
