Zibanejad Becomes Rangers’ Franchise Leader in Power-Play Goals


In the second period on Saturday against the Flyers, Mika Zibanejad scored a power-play goal to put the Rangers ahead 4-1.

The goal allowed Zibanejad to become the Rangers’ franchise leader in power-play goals with number 117. That broke a tie with Camille Henry and Chris Kreider.

On a great play started by Scott Morrow, who moved the puck to Vincent Trocheck, he then passed it over to Artemi Panarin, who found Zibanejad open for a shot that beat Flyers goalie Sam Ersson at 5:38 of the second period.

Zibanejad later tied Bill Cook for the most hat tricks in franchise history with his ninth. He put away a J.T. Miller feed on a two-on-one for the record-tying hat trick.

The Rangers led the Flyers 6-2 entering the third period.
