Ryan McDonagh: Played Through Broken Foot in ECF

Coach Alain Vigneault acknowledged after the Rangers' Game 7 loss to the Lightning that McDonagh played the final couple games of the series with a broken right foot.

Analysis:

It likely would have taken nothing less than a broken foot for the Rangers captain not to be on the ice in the Eastern Conference Finals, but he clearly wasn't himself in the last three games. After tallying a goal and assist in Game 4, McDonagh failed to get on the scoresheet and mustered only one shot on goal in Games 5 through 7. Additionally, he skated fewer than 22 minutes in each of the last three contests, well below his postseason average of 23:51 TOI.
