Dorsett, who sports 103 penalty minutes in just 37 games, had his fibula broken attempting to block a Olli Maatta shot in the first period of the Rangers' loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on January 3rd - and it was originally projected that he could be back before the break, but the Rangers can afford to wait until after the Sochi games to bring their Little Ball of Hate back.
However, there is a question as to where the Rangers' resident agitator fits now that the team has traded for Dan Carcillo from the Los Angeles Kings.
Rangers' bench boss Alain Vigneault seems satisfied with the four lines he's rolling with now, and the team is hot, going 9-3-1 since Dorsett went down, his energy line of Carcillo and Brian Boyle being centered by Dominic Moore as productive as at any time during the season.
The Rangers have but three games remaining before the break, so Vigneault doesn't have to make a decision either way for at least a couple of weeks - but as long as his players stay healthy, Dorsett can continue to rehab.
