Sometimes, the injuries that provide the biggest scare in hockey are the non-contact ones. It means that something has gone terribly wrong internally, not because of a blunt trauma. That's the situation the New York Rangers have been facing after their team MVP Igor Shesterkin went down in Monday night's game.
