Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Scores for Swedes in defeat
Zibanejad scored a goal Saturday for Sweden in a 4-3 overtime loss to Finland at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.
Zibanejad opened the scoring with a shot between the circles in the first period on a Finland defensive-zone turnover. He had six shots on net and three hits in the game. Zibanejad has had an off year in New York this season, but he had two goals and six assists in five games before the tournament and has carried over his hot play.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Two-point effort Saturday
Zibanejad produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
The 31-year-old center will take a lot of momentum into the 4 Nations Face-Off as he prepares to suit up for Team Sweden. Zibanejad has three multi-point performances in the last four games, and he's kicked off February with two goals and eight points in five tilts with the Rangers. While Zibanejad's numbers on the season are below his usual standards (11 goals and 37 points in 55 appearances), he may be gearing up for a big finish to the campaign.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Dishes pair of helpers
Zibanejad notched two assists, one while shorthanded, and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.
This was Zibanejad's second multi-point effort in a row, and he's earned six points over his last three outings. He set up Artemi Panarin on the opening goal and Chris Kreider on a shorthanded tally that stood as the game-winner. Zibanejad is up to 35 points, 120 shots on net, 35 blocks and a minus-24 rating over 53 appearances. He's played on the right wing since the Rangers traded for J.T. Miller, and the extra positional flexibility Zibanejad could eventually receive will bolster his fantasy value, especially if he stays productive on offense.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Excels in third period Sunday
Zibanejad scored a power-play goal and registered two assists in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
After a quiet first two periods of the game, the 31-year-old forward erupted for three points in the final period. Zibanejad's goal and second assist came on the power play. He is up to 10 goals, 23 assists and 119 shots on net in 52 games this season. Zibanejad is thriving with four points over his last two games following the addition of his new linemate J.T. Miller. With the Rangers making a run at a playoff spot, Zibanejad is in a strong position to do damage in fantasy if the top line continues its early signs of synergy. He is unlikely to match his point total of 72 from a season ago but can heavily close that gap in the coming weeks.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Supplies power-play helper
Zibanejad notched a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.
Zibanejad lined up at right wing amid the lineup shuffled introduced by the acquisition of J.T. Miller, who was his center. They split the faceoff duties, with Miller going 4-for-11 and Zibanejad winning five of eight draws. It's unclear if that is a structure that will stick -- given Zibanejad's struggles this season, it wouldn't be surprising to see him eventually end up back at center on the third line, a spot Jonny Brodzinski filled Saturday. Zibanejad has nine points over 15 games since the start of January, and he's at 30 points, 114 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a minus-26 rating through 51 appearances this season.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Pots power-play goal Sunday
Zibanejad scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
Zibanejad collected the puck near the point and waited out the Canadiens' penalty killers before picking his spot. Jakub Dobes was screened and never saw the shot. The goal ended a three-game slump for Zibanejad, who had a six-game point streak prior to going cold again. The 31-year-old center has had a difficult season, picking up a modest nine goals and 19 assists, including 11 power-play points, over 46 appearances. His minus-25 rating is also the second-worst in the league, better than only Chicago's Philipp Kurashev (minus-28).

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Point streak at six games
Zibanejad registered a power-play assist and three shots on net in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Zibanejad had a shot attempt that was well off the mark, but it hit Vincent Trocheck in the abdomen, and Trocheck was able to bury it before hunching over in pain. That's a hard way to earn a goal, but the assist extended Zibanejad's point streak to six games (two goals, four helpers). It's a positive sign after the 31-year-old center was ice-cold throughout the second half of December. He's at 27 points (10 on the power play), 97 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating through 42 outings this season. It's been a down year, but he's beginning to trend in the right direction.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Turning corner?
Zibanejad picked up an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Zibanejad was held off the scoresheet in eight consecutive games to close out the month of December, but he's started the new calendar year with a three-game point streak. He's accounted for two goals, one assist and a plus-3 rating in that span. The right-shot center has struggled in 2024-25, but he has a track record of producing in the regular season, and given his start in January, fantasy managers should remain patient. Zibanejad has logged eight goals, 24 points and a team-worst minus-19 rating through 39 appearances.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Goals in consecutive games
Zibanejad scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.
Zibanejad has opened January with goals in consecutive games. It's already been a more productive month than December was in the goal column for the 31-year-old center, who had four points over 13 outings last month. Zibanejad is at eight goals, 23 points, 85 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating over 38 appearances this season, putting him on his worst scoring pace since 2017-18.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Earns 700th career point
Zibanejad scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Bruins.
The opening tally was Zibanejad's 700th career point. It's the second milestone he's reached this season -- the last was 300 career goals back on Dec. 11, but unfortunately for the Rangers, he didn't record a point in the eight contests in between. He continues to play top-six minutes but has struggled across the board with seven goals, 15 assists, a minus-22 rating, 82 shots on net and 26 blocked shots over 37 appearances. His next assist will be the 400th of his career.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Producing below expectations
Zibanejad entered the holiday break on a six-game point drought.
That's Zibanejad longest scoring slump of 2024-25, though he did have a drought that matched it last season from Feb. 24-March 9. The cold stretch coming earlier this year has made it stand out more -- Zibanejad has six goals and 21 points through 34 outings overall. That's not a terrible level of production, but it's well below what we've come to expect from him after the 31-year-old recorded over 70 points in five of six campaigns from 2018-19 through 2023-24 (the lone exception was the shortened 2020-21 season). Zibanejad also has an unusually low minus-19 rating this year, which has continued its descent with his minus-5 across his active six-game drought. The only Rangers player who even comes close to his struggles in that category is Alexis Lafreniere at minus-15.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Nets 300th career goal
Zibanejad scored a power-play goal on five shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.
The goal was the 300th of Zibanejad's career, and he's not far off from a couple of other milestones. He needs one more point to reach 700 and one more assist for 400 in his career. The center has been playing better of late with two goals and four assists over his last six outings. Overall, Zibanejad is at six tallies, 21 points (seven on the power play), 62 shots on net, 10 PIM and a minus-14 rating over 28 appearances.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Supplies assist Friday
Zibanejad posted an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.
Zibanejad has four points over his last three games, which has been his longest point streak this season. The 31-year-old center is up to five goals, 14 assists, 52 shots on net and a minus-13 rating over 25 outings. He's had some struggles on both sides of the puck, but his offense looks to be coming around, and he remains in a prominent role.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Pots first power-play marker
Zibanejad had a goal and assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 win over Montreal. He also had three shots on net and two PIM.
Zibanejad's power-play assist in the first period snapped an 11-game run without a point while the Rangers were a skater up. In the second period, he tallied on the man advantage, when he pump-faked and expertly used a Chris Kreider screen to beat Sam Montembeault. It was surprisingly the first power-play tally of the season for Zibanejad, who entered 2024-25 with double-digit power-play goals in seven consecutive campaigns. It's been a rough start for the 31-year-old Zibanejad, who owns a minus-14 rating through 23 outings.

Zibanejad scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.

This was Zibanejad's second multi-point effort of November and his fourth such game of the campaign. The center has four goals, 10 helpers, 33 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over 17 appearances, and he's yet to get on the scoresheet in more than two consecutive contests.

Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Finds twine in Thursday's win
Zibanejad scored a goal and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Zibanejad had a terrible game versus the Jets on Tuesday, but he redeemed himself Thursday with his first goal since Oct. 22.

He's at three goals, nine helpers, 30 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 15 outings, and he remains in a top-line role.
