Fantasy Impact:

The flu has apparently run roughshod through the Swedish locker room, and it claimed Zibanejad and Pittsburgh's Rickard Rakell for the final round-robin game. Zibanejad will have until Saturday afternoon to get better, as his Rangers travel to Buffalo to tangle with the Sabres as NHL play resumes. If he can make it through that game without any setbacks, get him back in the active fantasy lineup immediately.
