Mika Zibanejad is carrying the weight of the New York Rangers on his shoulders this season. His best friend, Mats Zuccarello, was traded. The organization sold again at the trade deadline yet that didn’t stop the team’s No. 1 center from doing his job.
Mika has been leading on the ice for this young Rangers team. He has set a career high in goals scored (28), assists (39) and points (67). Five of his goals were game-winners this season.
On the special teams’ side of the game, Mika recorded nine power-play goals along with two shorthanded goals.
