News: 3 days agoZibanejad scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.
Spin: It was Zibanejad's 14th career shorthanded goal, tying him with Don Maloney for third-most in Rangers history behind Mark Messier (23) and Adam Graves (16). He has eight points, including six helpers, and 17 shots in eight contests. Zibanejad has been instrumental in helping his team to five regulation home wins in a row to start a season. That's notable because they had just nine regulation wins at home all of last season. Their fifth didn't come until Dec. 20. Zibanejad is four seasons removed from his 91-point (39 goals) campaign of 2022-23, but he's still a high 70s player who shoots the lights out at even strength and tallies copious points on special teams.
