During a recent practice game involving the New York Rangers, Mika Zibanejad was accidentally bumped into at center ice. According to insiders, his teammates had to help him off the ice. It's important to note that Zibanejad is one of the team's top players and was taking part in this practice game.
Following this unsettling incident, Zibanejad did not return to the practice game. Later, it was announced that he would be considered day-to-day due to his injury.
This marked the second star player in as many days to get hurt during a team scrimmage, with Buffalo Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin leaving their practice game due to a hand injury.
Although both players appear to have avoided serious injuries, these incidents may lead teams to be more careful about involving their star players in less important practice games.
