The injury bug keeps biting the Rangers this year. Center Mika Zibanejad is out 6-8 weeks with a broken fibula after taking a nasty crash into the boards against Florida.
Zibanejad joins Pavel Buchnevich and Josh Jooris as the current injured Rangers. Chris Kreider, Kevin Klein, and Dan Girardi have also missed time with various injuries.
Unless Buch or Jooris are ready to go, the Rangers will need to recall a forward from Hartford.
