Zibanejad Hit and Injury, Berard Out; Rangers Face Draft Decisions
Imagine a hockey player named Mika Zibanejad playing for Sweden.
During a game against Finland, he got hit in the mouth by an opponent's stick and started bleeding, but the referees didn't call a penalty.
Despite this, he kept playing for almost 20 minutes!
His teammate, Brett Berard, is out due to injury.
The team has to decide who to pick in the upcoming draft, as they have the 12th pick.
The team might choose a center, as most of their current centers are older and they don't have many younger prospects.
Mika Zibanejad was injured by a high stick but played nearly 20 minutes after the incident.
No penalty was called despite Zibanejad being hit in the mouth and bleeding.
Brett Berard is out of the World Championship due to an unspecified injury.
The Rangers have the No. 12 pick in the upcoming NHL Draft.
The Rangers need to select a center.
