He's had some significant concussions and he needs to err on the side of caution. The Rangers can live without him for a week or two if need be. He's a pretty good third liner and probably borderline middle six but he is already at significant injury risk.

He’s been fantastic this year and is huge loss for them. The “Kids Line” had 11 GF and 0 GA and great advanced stats in 14 GP.
Is it really a kids line anymore? Hasn't Lafreniere been moved up to the top six exclusively?

I don't even dislike Nashville as a franchise in the least.
But I'm kind of sadistically enjoying how bad they've been this year. I'm not sure what their fans thought, but the media was pumping them as STANLEY CUP CONTENDERS! for their offseason and praising Trotz for that mega UFA splurge.
And they've fallen flat on their face. It reminds me of the Rangers right before the lockout. And all the guys they picked up are so old that they would have already been eligible for UFA several years ago even in the pre-lockout 31 years old for UFA era.
Well, Skjei is maybe a year younger than that.
It's pretty hilarious. I really don't see much significant talent under 30 years old over there. Forsberg is 30, Saros is just barely under it.
Nyquist, Schenn (YES! Luke Schenn is ACTUALLY STILL in the NHL!) Josi, Stamkos, Marchessault, O'Reilly, all these guys are all OLD. They're not all bad, but they're all closer to 35 than anything and some of them got some really high miles. Feels like O'Reilly is closer to 37 than 34.
I'm glad we didn't sign either one of those two old forwards they did this summer.

Yea he’s basically their best center at 5 on 5. He should have been getting more ice time
