Arron Asham misses practice with groin injury
Arron Asham - W - New York Rangers
Jan. 22, 2013 - 1:20 PM ET

Arron Asham missed New York Rangers practice Tuesday with a mild groin strain.

In a normal season, this wouldn't be a big deal, but in the lockout-shortened season, groin strains and the like are going to be treated with more care than usual. Coach John Tortorella said he's "not sure" if Asham will play Wednesday. Torts said if Asham sits, the Rangers could move Stu Bickel up to wing and play Steve Eminger on defense. We should know something definitive after tomorrow's morning skate.
