Mika Zibanejad Grabs First Conference Finals Points With Assists
6 months agoNew York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad recorded his first points of the Eastern Conference Final series against Florida on Thursday, picking up assists on both goals in the team's 3-2 defeat. Zibanejad logged a short-handed helper in the second period when Chris Kreider scored and had his second assist inside the final minute of the game on Alexis Lafreniere's eighth goal of the playoffs. The Swedish centerman became the first player in Rangers history with at least 12 assists in multiple postseasons. He's averaging over a point per game in the playoffs, boasting three goals and 13 assists through 15 games. However, 13 of Zibanejad's 16 points came when he opened the postseason with an eight-game scoring streak.
