New York. Mika Zibanejad continues to net.
When the Rangers won a tough game against Vancouver last night, he scored his 25th goal of the season — in a run, rare enough.
– I play with Panarine, then you have to find different ways to get close to the penalty area and create chances, the star center told Sportbladet after the 4-3 win.
As we indicated before, at this time of the year, in February and March, the target production of Mika Zibanejad usually starts to ramp up, and this theory is constantly being confirmed.
In a Rangers vs. Canucks duel at home at Madison Square Garden last night, it took even just four minutes, but he pulled out a club blade and pulled out his 25th strikeout of the season.
The only Swede to score more is Toronto’s William Nylander (28).
– Yes, he was cute, and it turned out to be important too, says Mika when we meet him next.
– This is not how I usually score, no, but I play for Panarine. Then you have to find different ways to get into the box and create chances. Now it was Jacob Trueba who hit a very good shot. I saw him all the way and got the stick there.
There is not much to say about the game in general. It was quite a story.
– Yes, but it doesn’t matter, we’re doing well enough to win, continues DJ Zabad.
– It is important to be able to win such matches as well. In October and November we coded them and were sad about it. We won’t be like that now because we didn’t play well.
The industrious Canucks made sure to make the ending interesting when, immediately after Mika’s 4-2 goal, they cut back — with sin Twenty-second basin – but they have not succeeded in that now either.
– We made the match even, but it wasn’t enough. We’re learning from it and moving on, we already have a new game for the next night and we don’t have to think too much about it,” says Elias.
Yeah, so — Friday night — the Canucks take on former team captain Bo Horvat’s New York Islanders on Long Island.
In Dallas, Joel Erickson Eck made his 19th, but he didn’t have much going for it. The Strong Stars won 4-1.
