Rangers' Nash to have MRI on injured groin

New York Rangers power winger Rick Nash is scheduled to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the groin injury that forced him to exit Tuesday's loss to the New York Islanders, according to NHL.com.

The Rangers expect to have the results before their matchup with the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night.

New York's suddenly dealing with a slew of injuries. Jimmy Vesey exited the same game with an upper-body knock, and Matt Puempel suffered a concussion.
