Ryan McDonagh Has Chance To Return On Thursday
4 years agoTampa Bay Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh (lower body) came through Wednesday's practice and seems ready to return to action in Thursday's clash with Columbus. The veteran blueliner, who has 10 points for the season, has missed four games. He seems to have been a huge miss, with the Bolts heading into Thursday's encounter on a three-game losing streak. McDonagh eats up nearly 22 minutes a night, and he's been a major force on the defensive end with 64 blocks and 41 hits in 31 games. He makes a timely return as Tampa's blue line is short of Jan Rutta (lower body) and Erik Cernak (lower body).
