Rangers' Stepan will be on liquid diet for 6 weeks after fracturing jaw in Conference final

Upon advancing to the Stanley Cup final, New York Rangers forward Derek Stepan revealed he will be on a liquid diet for six weeks after fracturing his jaw earlier in the Eastern Conference final.

Amazingly, the 23-year-old only missed one game due to the injury, scoring two goals and registering five shots on goal in approximately 18 minutes of ice time per game.

If all goes well, perhaps Stepan will be able to take in a smoothie via the Lord Stanley's mug in a couple weeks.
