• Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Delivers power-play helper

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Zibanejad notched a power-play assist, two PIM and a minus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals. Zibanejad connected with Chris Kreider for a power-play goal early in the second period. Consistency has been an issue for Zibanejad early on -- he's been held scoreless in five of the Rangers' first nine games. He's made up for it by logging seven points (two on the power play) with 17 shots on net, a minus-3 rating and four PIM. While still on the nominal first line, the Rangers' scoring depth means Zibanejad is functioning more as an all-situations middle-six center.

  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.
