GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- How did Mika Zibanejad spend the day after authoring a bit of Rangers franchise history?

By going to work.

“This doesn’t change anything for me, really,” Zibanejad said after practice Friday.

Zibanejad scored five goals in the Rangers’ 6-5 win over the Capitals at Madison Square Garden Thursday night, joining Don Murdoch and Mark Pavelich as the only players in franchise history to score five goals in a game.
