Mika Zibanejad, Artemi Panarin Push Rangers Past Minnesota
5 years agoNew York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad and left wing Artemi Panarin combined for three points in Thursday's 4-3 shootout victory against Minnesota, helping the team to a third consecutive win. The Rangers were chasing the game for most of the night, but Pavel Buchnevich cut the deficit to one with eight minutes left in regulation and Panarin set up Zibanejad for the tying goal with just over a minute to go. Panarin, who scored the team's first goal, and Zibanejad were also the only scorers in the eventual shootout. The Russian will go into Friday's matchup with Columbus on a four-game point streak, while Zibanejad has shown off his good form by bagging seven points in his last five games.
