Elias26 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 TSN COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash sustained what appeared to be a sprained ankle after hitting the boards feet-first during a scrimmage Wednesday, general manager Doug MacLean said. Nash, who tied Atlanta Thrashers forward Ilya Kovalchuk for the NHL lead in goals two years ago, was helped from the ice and taken to Grant Medical Center, where X-rays revealed no broken bones, MacLean said. Results of an MRI exam should be available Thursday, MacLean said. Nash, who had 41 goals in 2003-04, re-signed with Columbus in August, agreeing to a five-year, $27 million US contract. The 21-year-old left wing was a restricted free agent. He was the first overall pick of the 2002 draft. In 2003, Nash had 17 goals and 39 points. He played with Davos of the Swiss league during the NHL lockout last year, finishing with 27 goals and 47 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
