Zibanejad tallied a shorthanded goal, put four shots on target and dished out two hits in Saturday's 6-1 win against Pittsburgh.

Zibanejad's first twine finder of the season came with an exclamation point as he was able to score on a penalty kill. The ever-consistent Zibanejad has tallied 20-plus goals in each of the past eight seasons and should be in a good spot to produce once again in New York's top six. He's currently centering the top line between Artemi Panarin and Alexis Lafreniere, but Zibanejad started the season on the wing before Vincent Trocheck (upper body) got hurt. Regardless of position, Zibanejad has fantasy appeal in all formats as he begins his push to reach the 60-point threshold for the seventh time in the last eight seasons.
