Zibanejad scored a power-play goal on five shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Islanders.
Zibanejad is up to 11 goals and 21 points through 13 contests in January. The problem for the Rangers has been that not enough players are following Zibanejad's lead on offense lately. The 32-year-old center is up to 23 goals, 51 points (21 on the power play), 150 shots on net, 75 hits and a minus-18 rating through 54 contests. As the Rangers continue to move into retool/rebuild territory, Zibanejad will have control of his fate with a full no-movement clause in the eight-year extension he signed back in October of 2021.

Rotowire
Zibanejad had two assists in a 7-3 win over the Capitals on Tuesday.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Nets two goals Friday
Rotowire
Zibanejad scored twice in the Rangers' 6-2 win over Boston on Friday.
Both of Zibanejad's goals were scored on the power play. The 32-year-old has been held off the scoresheet just once over his past five outings, giving him two goals and six points across that span.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Finds twine on power play
Rotowire
Zibanejad scored a power-play goal, put seven shots on net and blocked two attempts in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Blue Jackets.
Zibanejad found the back of the net on a second-period power play to put the Rangers out in front momentarily. Saturday's top-line center remained active throughout the course of the game with seven shots on goal. Overall, the 32-year-old center has six goals, 11 points and 64 shots on net across 19 appearances this season. With the recent addition of Vincent Trocheck back into the lineup, Zibanejad could see playing time both from the center position and on the wing as the Rangers continue to find their stride. With the team's offense starting to put its slow start in the past, Zibanejad should continue to play a large role in New York's efforts, giving him a strong case to be rostered in most fantasy formats.
