WINNIPEG, Manitoba — When the Rangers return home for a pit stop at Wednesday’s Casino Night, the folks attending are advised to queue at the table of dealer Mika Zibanejad, who is on one of the great hot streaks of recent franchise vintage.
Maybe some of it will rub off.
Very good and very lucky, that defines Zibanejad’s match Tuesday in which he scored two more goals, the first on an intended pass in front from a sharp right-wing angle that banked in, and the second on a fling from the left side that got by netminder Connor Hellebuyck after ricocheting off Jets defensemen Jacob Trouba and Josh Morrissey.
