Initial diagnosis on Ryan McDonagh is “not serious.”

I think so also Mess. At the very least he is going to miss round 1. If we make round 2 who knows. By that time it would be about 5 weeks from surgery.

All I can say is no excuses. A lot of teams have injuires this time of year. As long as McDonagh is back and healthy, Hank is healthy, and we have MSL and Nash we have a chance to make some noise (and Stepan has been very good the past few weeks as well). All we can do is play hard and we'll see how it goes against the Flyers in round 1.
