New York Rangers forward Rick Nash and defenseman Marc Staal will sit out the regular season finale Saturday against the Washington Capitals, while forward Mats Zuccarello will play.

Zuccarello was a game-time decision but took part in pre-game line rushes alongside James Sheppard and Derick Brassard.

Staal missed his first game of the season with an undisclosed injury Thursday.

Nash and Zuccarello returned to practice Friday after missing the 3-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators.
