In his fourth season, the 22-year old from Ontario is off to a fast start. Entering tonight’s home game against the Pens, he’s tallied six points (2-4-6) with a plus-five rating. He scored his first goal in the Rangers’ win over the Leafs. A goal that originally was credited to Brian Boyle. It was changed after Boyle said he didn’t touch it.

Following a two-point effort, Del Zotto posted a goal and assist in their victory over the Flyers. He started the scoring with a shot from the blueline that snuck past Ilya Bryzgalov 1:57 in. He later set up Ryan Callahan for a power play tally in the second which stood up as the winner. A great pass across, showing his vision.

Del Zotto has been more assertive in Year 4. He’s looking to shoot more and making better decisions. It’s an area he needed to improve on. So far, so good.
