Rangers’ Mika Zibanejad Benched Amid Mystery: What Really Happened Behind Closed Doors?
As a result, the Rangers will be without one of their top forwards as they take on the No. 2 team in the Pacific Division.
Zibanejad has appeared in all 33 games to date, scoring a team-leading 11 goals and dishing 14 assists. Since appearing in all 56 games of the truncated 2020-21 campaign, the Swede missed only two games in each of the following four seasons.
Without Zibanejad, the Rangers activated Matt Rempe off long-term injured reserve and slotted him back into the lineup for the first time since he suffered a hand injury on Oct. 23. He returned to his usual post on the right wing of the fourth line next to Sam Carrick and Taylor Raddysh.
