Mika Zibanejad tied a single-game career-high with four points (two goals, two assists), registered three points on special teams, (one power play goal, one shorthanded goal, and one power play assist), tallied the game-winning goal, led all skaters with 13 faceoff wins (13-for-21; 61.9%), led the Rangers with five shots on goal and four hits, and posted a plus-two rating in 19:31 of ice time. Zibanejad posted a four-point game for the second time in his NHL career (he tallied four points in a game on Dec. 7, 2014 as a member of the Ottawa Senators). He recorded all of his three points on special teams in the second period. He became the first Ranger to tally a power play goal and a shorthanded goal in the same period since Brandon Dubinsky on Apr. 12, 2009 at Philadelphia. Zibanejad also became the first Ranger to record a power play point and a shorthanded point in the same period of a game since Ryan Callahan on Mar. 28, 2012 at Winnipeg. He tallied his third career NHL shorthanded goal and his first shorthanded goal as a Ranger. Zibanejad extended his goal/point streak to three games (four goals, three assists over the span), and he has also recorded a goal/point in four of the last five games (five goals, three assists over the last five games).
