Zibanejad to return after missing 25 games with broken leg

The New York Rangers will have a major boost in their lineup when they face the Dallas Stars on Tuesday as center Mika Zibanejad is set to return.

Zibanejad has missed the last 25 games after suffering a broken fibula in mid-November.

The Rangers acquired Zibanejad in an offseason deal that returned fellow center Derick Brassard to the Ottawa Senators.

In his first season on Broadway, Zibanejad has recorded 15 points in 19 games.
