The time leading up to the trade deadline is one full of questions for teams outside of the playoff picture like the New York Rangers. For Mats Zuccarello, it is a situation that he’s never experienced before and it is serving as a distraction.
Zuccarello told TSN that “we try to keep it the same, but obviously there is a lot of thinking about whats going to happen and stuff. I think that’s normal. No-one wants to be in the situation and sometimes it’s hard, especially when your losing. I think in six days or so it will get a little better.
