New York Rangers rookie Libor Hajek suffers separated shoulder in win

The thrill over scoring your first NHL goal at Madison Square Garden hampered by a separated shoulder: that was how the game on Saturday went for New York Rangers defenseman Libor Hajek.

The Rangers announced that the rookie defense suffered the shoulder injury and will be lost for an undetermined length of time.

#NYR Coach Quinn said Libor Hajek sustained a separated shoulder. Will know more tomorrow.
