As expected, there were quite a few interesting bits of news to come out of today’s New York Rangers media breakup day. Perhaps the biggest story is that both Henrik Lundqvist and Mats Zuccarello have been dealing with injuries all season long. As a result, Zuccarello has already been ruled out for the 2018 IIHF World Championships.
Per Dan Rosen, Lundqvist’s injury didn’t affect how he played, but did affect how he prepared. He will meet with team doctors soon and is unsure about whether or not he will play in the Worlds.
