Gaborik will not play against Islanders

The New York Rangers will be playing Wednesday's game against the New York Islanders at the Nassau Coliseum without their top star, Marian Gaborik, who left Monday's 5-2 win over Phoenix after a collision with Coyotes forward Petr Prucha. He also leads the team in his new york rangers jersey with 18 points in 12 games.

"He won't be playing tonight," Rangers coach John Tortorella told the media after Wednesday's morning. "I'm not going to get into what he has." P.A. Parenteau, a right wing who was leading the AHL with 8 goals, was recalled on Tuesday from Hartford and will play against the Islanders. "I have no idea" – That’s a reply from Tortorella when asked when Gaborik will be able to return to the lineup.
