New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh injured his knee while scoring his first goal in nearly 2 1/2 months on Sunday.
McDonagh said after the 3-2 home triumph over the Washington Capitals that he tweaked his knee and that it was a "fluke" incident.
With the game tied at 1-1, McDonagh avoided Washington's Troy Brouwer in the left faceoff circle before skating closer to the slot and wiring a shot which handcuffed Michal Neuvirth. The goal was McDonagh's fifth of the season and first since Dec. 1.
"I've kind of had this injury in the past. It's just a little tweak," McDonagh told ESPN New York. "I know you guys want to think something seriously happened, but it's OK."
McDonagh has 15 assists and a plus-23 rating in his second season.

Per Andrew Gross, Ruslan Fedotenko made the trip to Boston with the team. Considering the Rangers are home on Thursday, it is unlikely that Fedotenko would make the trip without the expectation that he would play. If Fedotenko does play, expect one of Steve Eminger or Stu Bickel to be the healthy scratch tomorrow night against Boston.
In other news, it appears that Ryan McDonagh...
