The Rangers' top scorer and top scorer (along with Artemij Panarin) continue to deliver.
For the third game in a row in NHL ice hockey, the 29-year-old found the net, which meant a 5-1 lead at home in Madison Square Garden against the league's youngest team, Seattle.
- I think we played better today for longer periods of time during the match.
When we play that way, I think we do very well, says Zibanejad according to the NHL's website and adds that the team thus has a good chance of winning the games as well.
Tarasenko goalscorer on debut
On the day of glory, Zibanejad had a new chain mate, as Vladimir Tarasenko made his debut after moving from St Louis.
The Russian forward seems to have handled the switch okay, even if it came as a surprise.
- I don't think I've ever experienced anything like this in my entire life.
It's my first time playing in the NHL.
I spent eleven years in one and the same city.
The guys gave us a very warm welcome.
Everyone here has been very nice.
But it has been a crazy day, he says after the match.
The premiership goal came less than three minutes into his first Rangers game.
- We hope that more people will come and that we play well in all matches, he says.
The Rangers eventually won the game 6–3.
