Mika Zibanejad was injured during a loss to the Boston Bruins 16 days ago. The New York Rangers categorized the center as having an “upper-body” injury. That is the only update the club has issued.
At first glance, the collision looked like it might have been a possible concussion; but David Quinn dismissed that idea with the upper-body injury announcement.
He has been listed as day-to-day throughout these last two weeks.
The Rangers recalled Filip Chytil, along with Ryan Lindgren, before their next game, a move that was anything but surprising considering the team needed a center to replace their stud in the middle.
