Like most of the Rangers, Mika Zibanejad has been extremely frustrating this season.  Before Friday's outdoor game in Miami, he had one shot on goal in the previous five games combined!  So naturally, he had one of the games of the season so far, scoring a hat trick on six shots and adding two assists in the 5-1 win over the Panthers.  The top line for the Rangers was dangerous throughout, and just like that, Zibanejad is ahead of last season's points pace.  He's just shy of a 30+40 pace now and the shot rate is back up towards three per game.  It's not exciting, and it's definitely close to the fringe, but I lean towards bottom end hold still.  The minutes are through the roof at the moment and with their lack of depth, I can't imagine that changing any time soon.  Let's take a look at what else happened over the weekend:
Happy Wednesday, Razzball faithful! It’s been a bit of a wild ride for Morgan Geekie (2 G, +1, 3 SOG, 1 PPG, GWG). The Geekie Squad was the 67th overall pick in the 2017 draft and wasn’t considered much of a prospect after a 25-point season (in 66 games) for the 2015-2016 Tri-City Americans of the WHL. It was the following year’s breakout that put Geekie on the map (72 GP, 35 G, 90 PTS), and convinced the Carolina Hurricanes that he was worth a gamble in the third round of the NHL Entry Draft.
