Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Pots first power-play marker

Zibanejad had a goal and assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 win over Montreal. He also had three shots on net and two PIM.

Zibanejad's power-play assist in the first period snapped an 11-game run without a point while the Rangers were a skater up. In the second period, he tallied on the man advantage, when he pump-faked and expertly used a Chris Kreider screen to beat Sam Montembeault. It was surprisingly the first power-play tally of the season for Zibanejad, who entered 2024-25 with double-digit power-play goals in seven consecutive campaigns. It's been a rough start for the 31-year-old Zibanejad, who owns a minus-14 rating through 23 outings.
