The news that mattered most out of Wednesday’s Rangers practice came after it was over, when coach David Quinn offered the best possible update on the fact that Mika Zibanejad did not participate.
Quinn said Zibanejad and Brendan Lemieux both merely were taking a "maintenance day" after bruising outings against the Devils on Tuesday, but that he expected both to be available against the Penguins on Friday.
