Zibanejad scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

After getting held off the scoresheet in the Rangers' first two games, Zibanejad got rolling with an impressive performance that included a slick shot-pass to Chris Kreider in the second period that produced the game-winner on the power play. Zibanejad saw his production droop last year, as he managed just 26 goals and 72 points in 81 regular-season games -- his lowest totals over a full campaign since 2017-18 -- but given the talent around him and his spot on the Rangers' top power-play unit, the 31-year-old seems likely to get back to at least a point-a-game pace in 2024-25.
