Supplies power-play helper Zibanejad notched a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Zibanejad lined up at right wing amid the lineup shuffled introduced by the acquisition of J.T. Miller, who was his center. They split the faceoff duties, with Miller going 4-for-11 and Zibanejad winning five of eight draws. It's unclear if that is a structure that will stick -- given Zibanejad's struggles this season, it wouldn't be surprising to see him eventually end up back at center on the third line, a spot Jonny Brodzinski filled Saturday. Zibanejad has nine points over 15 games since the start of January, and he's at 30 points, 114 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a minus-26 rating through 51 appearances this season.

Pots power-play goal Sunday Zibanejad scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Zibanejad collected the puck near the point and waited out the Canadiens' penalty killers before picking his spot. Jakub Dobes was screened and never saw the shot. This ended a three-game slump for Zibanejad, who had a six-game point streak prior to going cold again. The 31-year-old center has had a difficult season, picking up a modest nine goals and 19 assists, including 11 power-play points, over 46 appearances. His minus-25 rating is also the second-worst in the league, better than only Chicago's Philipp Kurashev (minus-28).

Point streak at six games Zibanejad registered a power-play assist and three shots on net in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Zibanejad had a shot attempt that was well off the mark, but it hit Vincent Trocheck in the abdomen, and Trocheck was able to bury it before hunching over in pain. That's a hard way to earn a goal, but the assist extended Zibanejad's point streak to six games (two goals, four helpers). It's a positive sign after the 31-year-old center was ice cold throughout the second half of December. He's at 27 points (10 on the power play), 97 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating through 42 outings overall in what's been an obviously down year, though he's trending in the right direction currently.

Turning corner? Zibanejad picked up an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Zibanejad was held off the scoresheet in eight consecutive games to close out the month of December, but he's started the new calendar year with a three-game point streak. He's accounted for two goals, one assist and a plus-3 rating in that span. The right-shot center has struggled in 2024-25, but he has a track record of producing in the regular season, and given his start in January, fantasy managers should remain patient. Zibanejad has logged eight goals, 24 points and a team-worst minus-19 rating through 39 appearances.

Goals in consecutive games Zibanejad scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Zibanejad has opened January with goals in consecutive games. It's already been a more productive month than December was in the goal column for the 31-year-old center, who had four points over 13 outings last month. Zibanejad is at eight goals, 23 points, 85 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating over 38 appearances this season, putting him on his worst scoring pace since 2017-18.

Earns 700th career point Zibanejad scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact The opening tally was Zibanejad's 700th career point. It's the second milestone he's reached this season -- the last was 300 career goals back on Dec. 11, but unfortunately for the Rangers, he didn't record a point in the eight contests in between. He continues to play top-six minutes but has struggled across the board with seven goals, 15 assists, a minus-22 rating, 82 shots on net and 26 blocked shots over 37 appearances. His next assist will be the 400th of his career.

Producing below expectations Zibanejad entered the holiday break on a six-game point drought.

Impact That's Zibanejad longest scoring slump of 2024-25, though he did have a drought that matched it last season from Feb. 24-March 9. The cold stretch coming earlier this year has made it stand out more -- Zibanejad has six goals and 21 points through 34 outings overall. That's not a terrible level of production, but it's well below what we've come to expect from him after the 31-year-old recorded over 70 points in five of six campaigns from 2018-19 through 2023-24 (the lone exception was the shortened 2020-21 season). Zibanejad also has an unusually low minus-19 rating this year, which has continued its descent with his minus-5 across his active six-game drought. The only Rangers player who even comes close to his struggles in that category is Alexis Lafreniere at minus-15.
