There was a bit of caution with Tanner Glass and his injury, because the Rangers had been down that road before.
Glass had taken a shot off the high part of his right ankle during Wednesday’s preseason finale in Boston, and it had hit him in the same spot in which center Derek Stepan was hit last preseason, leading to Stepan breaking his leg during conditioning testing.
Yet Glass was luckier, having taken a MRI that showed no break. After a few days off the ice, he returned to practice Monday wearing just a small gel pad to try to limit the pain.
