Mika Zibanejad Logs Big Minutes, Eight Shots in Loss
6 years agoNew York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad saw 23:04 minutes of time on ice in New York's 3-1 loss to Buffalo, which led all Rangers forwards by a significant amount. Zibanejad even recorded more ice time than any of the Ranger defenseman due in part to his heavy usage on the power-play and penalty kill. All of that ice time did not translate into any points for Zibanejad, but he did total eight shots and two penalty minutes. There may not be much talent around him, but Zibanejad will get plenty of opportunities this season as it looks like the Rangers will lean on him heavily.
