Rick Nash sets franchise record, leads league in scoring and is a new daddy
Tuesday night against the New York Islanders, Rick Nash scored two goals. The game was a New York Rangers loss but Rick Nash is the hottest player in the National Hockey League. He’s leading the league in points(7) and goals(6).
With the two goal game at Madison Square Garden, Nash set a franchise record. No player has ever scored six goals in the first four games of the season before. He’s scored at least a goal in all four games for the Rangers thus far into the 14/15 season.

Rick Nash left Sunday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after scoring a goal in the first period. His wife Jessica went into labor and Nash was given permission to be with her at the hospital. His son was named McClaren which is Rick Nash’s middle name.
The NY Post captured this quote from the new dad when asked if his son now puts hockey in perspective. “I wouldn’t relate my child to hockey,” Nash said. “That’s all family, and that’s in a separate pot. And that’s life in the big picture. Hockey is a sport that I love, but I don’t think I’d compare it.”
