Rick Nash will play against the Columbus Blue Jackets for the first time on Thursday.
The Rangers and Blue Jackets faced off on Nov. 7, but Nash was sidelined due to a concussion. All the same, he's downplaying his first match against the team that drafted him. "I think it's overshadowed by what we're worried about right now," Nash said. "We're worried about winning games and getting two points and kind of ending this losing streak. It'll be fun, but I think I only know one guy, maybe two or three guys that I played with. It's a totally different team. More importantly we have to win games here. We're worried about the Rangers and not other things." The 15-16-1 Rangers are looking to end a three-game losing streak. Even still, they have a two-point edge over Columbus.
