The New York Rangers will take on the Minnesota Wild at home on Monday. Ahead of the match, The Athletic's Peter Baugh asked forward Mika Zibanejad how to grab a win tomorrow against the Central Division team.
Tomorrow, Madison Square Garden will be busy again with the New York Rangers taking on the Minnesota Wild in a home game.
The Minnesota Wild head into MSG with a record of 2-3-1 under John Hynes, and are a bad team away from home with a 1-2-1 record in the last 6 games. The Rangers will need to not only take advantage of this weakness.
That is not the whole story, as the Rangers are 0-3-0 at home, and will need a win against a team like the Wild to break their slump in MSG.
Mika Zibanejad spoke with The Athletic's Peter Baugh to address how they can defeat the Minnesota Wild, who have a potential hot hand on the power-play in Vladimir Tarasenko.
The New York Rangers will need Goal support for Igor Shesterkin to win
The New York Rangers on home ice are terrible this season, with a record of 0-3-0. Defenseman Adam Fox has surprisingly separated himself from the pack as the team leader in goals with 3 and points with 6.
He should be the tip of the spear tomorrow, utilized by Mike Sullivan to break the siege that has a hold of Madison Square Garden.
Trailing behind him is $11.6 million forward, Artemi Panarin with 6 points (1-5), and center JT Miller with 4 points (2-2).
These three dynamic players, including Mika Zibanejad (3 points), will need to provide the example for players to follow when they take on a Minnesota Wild team that hasn't seen the playoffs in some time.
Mika Zibanejad was a factor in the Rangers' win against the Canadiens, scoring his 109th power-play goal of his career. Can he produce on home ice tomorrow?
