New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh is back, again.

The captain will play Thursday night against the St. Louis Blues after missing two games following a headshot from Toronto Maple Leafs forward Leo Komarov on Feb. 18.

The injury came while McDonagh was playing in just his second game since being punched and concussed by Philadelphia Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds on Feb. 6.

Marc Staal will also return to the lineup Thursday night after missing Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils.
