It was reported yesterday that New York Rangers forwards Mika Zibanejad and Brennan Othmann had both suffered day-to-day injuries during the team’s training camp. Both players were absent from the Rangers’ opening exhibition game against the Boston Bruins, a contest in which the Rangers were shutout 3–0. As the Blueshirts move forward with their pre-season campaign, there is some positive news regarding both players.

Upon beginning practice today, Mika Zibanejad was seen skating in a red no-contact jersey. Although he is not back at full health just yet, it’s a pleasant surprise to see the star center back on the ice only a day after having an injury reported.
