New York Rangers: Brandon Pirri will need to step up with Zibanejad hurt

The biggest strength of the New York Rangers this year has been their ability to roll four lines. That ability took a shot Sunday night when center Mika Zibanejad went down with a broken fibula under a minute into overtime.

The team that currently leads the NHL in goals per game with an average of 4.1 goals scored per game after scoring 5 unanswered against the Pittsburgh Penguins Monday night to win their 14th game of the season is already missing rookie forward Pavel Buchnevich, who will be out 2-3 weeks with back spasms.
