Zibanejad will not play Tuesday vs. the Penguins and will not travel to Florida, so the earliest he could return is next Wednesday vs. the Capitals. The Rangers have for 4-1-1 in the first six games without Zibanejad and Filip Chytil has four goals on 12 shots since being called up to replace Zibanejad.
Zibanejad will not play Wednesday vs. the Red Wings but also won't travel to Carolina for Thursday's game. Look for Zibanejad to return on Sunday at the earliest. Ryan Strome will continue to centre the first line with Zibanefad sidelined.
Zibanejad will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury on Monday but is "making progress," according to head coach David Quinn. "He had another good day today," Quinn told reporters. "He's still day-to-day" and "we'll see" when asked about a potential return on Wednesday. The Rangers have played well without Zibanejad, thanks to new-found chemistry between Artemi Panarin and Ryan Strome and the impressive play from Filip Chytil, who was recalled from Hartford (AHL).
The Rangers will stick with the same lineup on Saturday, which means Zibanejad will miss his second straight game. Rangers' head coach David Quinn announced that Zibanejad's injury is in the "neck area." Filip Chytil played very well in Zibanejad's absence, so expect them to make sure he's 100 percent before re-inserting him into the lineup in a November game.
Zibanejad suffered an upper-body injury against the Bruins on Sunday and will not be in the lineup vs. Tampa Bay. Zibanejad will be replaced by Filip Chytil, who was recalled from Hartford (AHL) on Monday. Zibanejad is officially day-to-day.
Zibanejad suffered an upper-body injury on Sunday and was not on the ice for Monday’s practice. Brett Howden was bumped up into the top-6 and Ryan Strome was on the first power-play unit after Zibanejad got hurt. Look for them to play expanded roles and for Jesper Fast (personal) to replace him in the lineup if Zibanejad can’t play.
Zibanejad was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Bruins following a hit from Patrice Bergeron. Head coach David Quinn said that Zibanejad's injury "isn't a concussion" and added that it's just an "upper-body" issue and that he is "day-to-day." It looks like Zibanejad avoided serious injury but he remains questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lightning.
Zibanejad missed Tuesday’s game vs. the Jets, but will draw back in tonight in Tampa Bay. Zibanejad will take his spot on the Rangers top line and return with 19 goals and 15 assists (34 points) in 57 games this season.
Zibanejad is day-to-day with an illness, so David Desharnais will take his spot on the Rangers top line. Monitor Zibanejad’s status heading into Thursday’s game in Tampa Bay.
Zibanejad remains sidelined with a concussion and will miss his ninth and 10th straight game this weekend. He could practice on Monday so monitor his status heading into next week.
Zibanejad was on the ice for the Rangers morning skate but will miss his sixth straight game tonight. Zibanejad has not been cleared for contact and head coach Alain Vigneault said he will need at least one practice before getting back in the lineup.
Zibanejad was a late scratch from last night’s game due to a hand injury, but the Rangers are hopeful that he will be able to play on Thursday. Monitor his status during tomorrow’s morning skate.
Zibanejad missed the last 26 games with a broken fibula, but will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Zibanejad centred the second line with Pavel Buchnevich and Rick Nash on his wings and enters Tuesday with five goals and 10 assists (15 points) in 19 games.
Zibanejad broke his fibula after sliding awkwardly into the boards during the Rangers’ shootout loss to the Panthers on Sunday. Zibanejad has enjoyed a great start to his Rangers career, having collected 15 points (5G / 10A) in 19 games, but that will be put on hold for at least six weeks. Expect Kevin Hayes to take on a bigger role in the Rangers’ offence with Zibanejad out.
