Hits 20 goals eighth straight time Zibanejad scored two goals and added an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact The goals pushed him to 20 on the season; it's the eighth straight season that Zibanejad has hit that mark. He turns 32 on Friday, but his so-called decline (62 points) seems situational. The Rangers were a bad team this year, and that means he could drop a few rounds at next season's drafts. Zibanejad is coming off a string of three seasons of 81, 91 and 72 points, respectively. That talent doesn't simply dry up in a guy's early 30s.

Pair of points in blowout win Zibanejad scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact Fantasy managers who have stuck with Zibanejad this long have gotten a reward in the form of seven points over his last three games. The 31-year-old was involved in the Rangers' first two goals Thursday. He's now at 18 tallies, 40 assists, 179 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-21 rating over 79 appearances. There are three games left on the Rangers' schedule for Zibanejad to make an attempt to reach the 20-goal and 60-point marks, but it'll still be his worst full-length season since 2017-18.

Four helpers not enough Zibanejad notched four assists, one shorthanded, in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Flyers.

Impact It was Zibanejad's first multi-point performance since March 9, and his first four-point eruption since Oct. 17, 2022 against the Ducks. The 31-year-old had had a disappointing season overall, mirroring that of a Rangers squad on the brink of being eliminated from the playoffs, but with four games left on the team's schedule he still has an outside shot at reaching 20 goals and 60 points.

Strikes on power play in loss Zibanejad scored a power-play goal on four shots in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Zibanejad has three points (two power-play goals) over his last five contests. The 31-year-old's offense has turned shaky again late in the season after he was unable to sustain a promising February. He's at 17 goals, 35 helpers, 19 power-play points, 173 shots on net and a minus-22 rating through 77 appearances in a middle-six role.

Good to go Zibanejad (illness) is expected to play against New Jersey on Saturday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.

Impact Zibanejad won't miss any playing time despite skipping Friday's practice. He has accounted for 16 goals, 51 points and 167 shots on net across 75 appearances this season. Zibanejad has produced only one goal and an assist in his last eight outings.

Not practicing Friday Zibanejad (illness) is not at practice Friday, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

Impact Zibanejad has struggled this season with only 16 goals and 35 assists across 75 games, his worst season since 2017-18 when he managed 27 goals and 20 assists in 72 appearances. Zibanejad should be considered a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's matinee in New Jersey. Should he be unable to play, look for Nicolas Aube-Kubel to enter the lineup.

Puts up helper in win Zibanejad notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Zibanejad has a point in each of the last two games after going five contests without one. The 31-year-old helped out on the first of Adam Fox's two tallies in the contest. Zibanejad is up to 51 points, 163 shots on net and a minus-18 rating through 74 appearances. A third-line role isn't an ideal spot for him, but it's one where the Rangers have slotted him in at times since bolstering their center depth through the J.T. Miller trade at the end of January.

Lights lamp on power play Zibanejad scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Impact Zibanejad ended a seven-game goal drought, during which he was limited to one assist. The 31-year-old center's offense has crashed again in late March, though it doesn't help that he's no longer playing alongside J.T. Miller at even strength, as the two displayed chemistry in previous weeks. Zibanejad is at 16 goals, 50 points (18 on the power play), 161 shots on net, 43 blocked shots, 42 hits and a minus-20 rating through 73 appearances.
