WATCH: Zibanejad hurt in game versus Boston

Anthony Scultore Updated: Oct 27, 2019

Mika Zibanejad took a high hard shoulder to the jaw from Patrice Bergeron and was visibly shaken. The Rangers took him out and said it was an upper body injury.

Zibanejad was then seen at the bench with his head down looking like he was shaking cobwebs out of his head. Mika Zibanejad May have just had the wind knocked out of him but he has had at least 5 documented concussions in his past.

Hopefully this is just precautionary and Mika will be back for the next game.

Post game update

Not much of an update on Zibanejad. David Quinn said he's "day-to-day," but confirmed it's not a head/concussion injury. Just "upper body."

As for the hit, DQ said, "I didn't really see it. It's for the league to decide."#NYR
