After missing 20 games, New York Rangers forward Rick Nash returned to the lineup Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings, head coach Alain Vigneault announced.

Nash has been sidelined since suffering a bone bruise in his leg on a collision with the boards during a Jan. 22 game against the Carolina Hurricanes.

The 31-year-old has 12 goals and 21 assists in 45 games this season.

Vigneault also announced goaltender Henrik Lundqvist and defenseman Marc Staal would be returning Saturday.
