The announcement came after a scare during Sunday’s practice that involved first-line center Mika Zibanejad, who was hit in the head in a 1-on-1 drill with defensive prospect Joey Keane.
Mika Zibanejad left the first camp session after taking a hit to the head and staying down on the ice. Not to be an alarmist, but he has a concussion history, including one last season. #NYR

Zibanejad is not in the projected lineup for Monday night’s opener at the Prudential Center, but head coach David Quinn said he completed all of his tests and just had the wind knocked out of him.
