Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Two helpers in regular-season debut on Broadway
Zibanejad dished out two assists -- one on the power play -- in Thursday's season-opening 5-3 victory over the Islanders.
Analysis:
He also won 15 of 25 faceoffs, which is excellent news for a Blueshirts squad that hasn't always been great at the dot. The Swede is off to a sparkling start as a Ranger and looks primed to improve on last season's 51 points thanks to excellent early chemistry with Chris Kreider and Pavel Buchnevich on the second line.
