Health: Avery Back Soon

Sean Avery has missed the first two games of the Rangers regular season do to a knee injury suffered during practice on September 21st.

Avery told the New York Post that he is targeting Thursday night’s game in Wasington to make his 2009-10 debut.

“I’d have loved to play in [last night's] Garden opener or Monday in Jersey, but I have to be smart about this and not rush back too soon, especially with a knee,” Avery told The Post between periods of Friday’s opening 3-2 defeat in Pittsburgh.

“I don’t want to put myself or my team in the situation where I come back before I’m completely ready and then suffer a setback that’s going to keep me out for a month.”

…Being smart about things never seemed like it was in Sean Avery’s repetoire, but its good that he is thinking like that, its a positive step forward in every possible direction. His presence in the lineup can’t be matched and the Rangers will only get better once Avery gets back in it.
