The first three words out of David Quinn's mouth at his postgame press conference encapsulated Mika Zibanejad's memorable night to a tee.

The New York Rangers head coach summarized his center's five-goal effort against the Washington Capitals with a brief but inarguable statement.

Quinn then elaborated, praising Zibanejad's skill and personality. He also expressed how fortunate he and the rest of the team were to be part of a game that saw the Rangers rally for an overtime win, with nearly all of New York's offense coming off the Swedish forward's stick.

Zibanejad now has 38 goals this season, 20 of which he's netted in the last 19 games.
