Zibanejad is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

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 (concussion) skated on Monday but has not been cleared for contact.

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 (fibula) will return to the Rangers lineup on Tuesday.

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 will miss 6-8 weeks with a broken fibula.

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.

The Senators signed Mika Zibanejad to a two-year contract worth $5.3M.

Zibanejad, 22, had the best season of his career in 2014-15. The former 6th overall pick tallied his first ever 20-goal season to go along with 26 assists (46 points) in 80 games for the Senators. It was another step in the right direction for Zibanejad, who will be in the Sens’ top-6 for at least the next two seasons.
