“Right now we’ll just list them as day to day and hopefully none of it is long term and that we’ll get them back on the ice as soon as possible. Any time we can give you an update on these guys we will.”

Mika did get in much later than most of his overseas teammates and quarantine protocols could be a factor. At this time, speculation will not help but the good news is that he is listed as day-to-day.

Zibanejad is the team’s number one center, best goal-scorer, and a key to any success the Rangers expect to have this season.
