Practice Notes: Lundqvist leaves ill, McDonagh and Girardi skate (with limitations)

"The Neutral Zone" Staff Report

Here are some basic notes from the Rangers' morning skate this morning:
  • Rangers head coach Alaimm Vigneault said on Monday that starting goaltender Henrik Lundqvist left practice early. Members of the team medical staff told him to leave and get some rest because he seemed ill. Lundqvist is expected to be better tomorrow, according to the Rangers' Twitter page.
  • Vigneault said defenseman Ryan McDonagh is out with an upper-body injury and will not start in Game One against the Penguins on Wednesday. McDonagh skated in the practice session, but sources say that he did not grip the stick with his right hand.
  • Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi did skate this morning, as Girardi has missed the past few games with an upper-body injury.
