New York Rangers forward Mika Zibanejad broke his left fibula when he fell awkwardly into the end boards 41 seconds into overtime in the Rangers' 3-2 shootout loss to the Florida Panthers on Sunday.
Zibanejad will miss 6-8 weeks, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said.
Zibanejad actually scored in the second period of the game. He has 15 points in 19 games this season.
Vigneault also said that the team will not recall a forward from the AHL, so that means that Oscar Lindberg could see some playing time.
Lindberg had an amazing start to last season but wound up being a healthy scratch in most of the games later in the season. He may need to fill in a fourth line spot with a Rangers' lineup that should be shaken up from Zibanejad's injury.
