What came first, Mika Zibanejad or the month of March? Regardless of your answer this month belongs to Zibanejad and the league has finally recognized that! The NHL has just named Zibanejad the 1st star of the week for his consecutive dominant performances. Mika March is real, and it can hurt you, but only if you’re an opposing team.

Zibanejad’s performance couldn’t have come at a better time for the Rangers. This past week was a critical one for their playoff positioning and partially because of Zibanejad they were able to put the Penguins in their place and right the ship that was beginning to seem it was sinking.
