Mika Zibanejad Misses Big Game At World Championship Against Canada With Illness
Canada ultimately defeated Sweden 5-2 to close out the preliminary round.
Mika Zibanejad Confirms He's Had A Conversation With Mike Sullivan Since Rangers Hire There's been a lot of talk lately around Mika Zibanejad and his future with the New York Rangers.
Swedish coach Sam Hallam confirmed that Zibanejad was out because he was sick, but didn't seem overly concerned about him missing more time.
'He's sick,' Hallam said. 'So we're keeping him away from the rest of the gang here during the day. He won't be at the game tonight and so he'll have to recover here over the next 24 hours.'
While the 32-year-old should likely be back for Sweden to start the quarterfinals, nothing has been confirmed as of now.
Zibanejad has recorded four goals in six games through this tournament.

Dodgers' Ohtani roughed up by Rockies, leaves game after getting hit on right thigh by line drive
James Schiano analyzes the Rangers skipping Jacob deGrom's next start due to shoulder fatigue, sharing why it is "hard not to be terrified" that this update "could be the end to a fantastic comeback season" for deGrom. DENVER — Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani had a forgettable outing in his first career pitching start against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Ohtani left Wednesday's game after giving up five earned runs and nine hits in four innings and getting hit in the leg by a comeback line drive. With runners at second and third and one out in the fourth inning, Ohtani got hit by a 93-mph line drive off the bat of Colorado's Orlando Arciao on his right leg that caused him to limp and grimace in pain. The liner struck the reigning National League MVP on the knee and ricocheted toward the first base line. Ohtani gave chase and grabbed the ball on the line, spun to make a throw, but had no play as a runner scored. After a mound visit from manager Dave Roberts and team medical personnel, Ohtani stayed in the game and got the last two outs of the inning, with the Dodgers trailing 5-0 at the time. The Dodgers lost to Colorado 8-3. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game that the line drive hit Ohtani on the thigh and managed to avoid his knee and any on-bone contact. The earned runs that Ohtani allowed matched the most he had permitted since July 2022, and the nine hits allowed matched a career high. Ohtani stayed in the game and drew a walk in his at-bat in the fifth inning, but did not bat in the eighth. He was replaced by Alex Call, who struck out. Ohtani was making his 10th start of the season after not pitching in the 2024 season while recovering from elbow surgery. He entered Wednesday without a decision and a 3.47 ERA. This season, he hasn't thrown more than 4 ⅓ innings or 80 pitches. Against the MLB-worst Rockies, he threw 66 pitches, 49 for strikes. Ohtani is batting .284 with 44 homers, one behind NL-leading Kyle Schwarber of the Phillies, with 83 RBIs.
