With 41 goals in 57 games, Mika Zibanejad was headed for one of the greatest goal-scoring seasons in New York Rangers franchise history. How does it compare to other Blueshirts’ record setting seasons?
We all know the numbers. Vic Hadfield set the bar when he scored 50 goals in 1972. Adam Graves exceeded it with 52 goals in 1994. Jaromir Jagr topped them all with 54 goals in 2006. Zibanejad’s 41 goals ranks 14th most in Rangers history and what is special is that he did it in only 57 games. Of the 939 skaters how have suited up for the Blueshirts, only 15 players in franchise history have scored as many as 41 goals in one season.
