RANGERS NOTES<\/p>\n
POWER PLAYERS \u2013 Gabe Perreault, Alexis Lafreniere and Mika Zibanejad each scored a power play goal against\u00a0the Flyers, the most PPGs (3) the Rangers have scored in a single game this season and the first time they have done so\u00a0since Nov. 30, 2024 (vs. MTL). On the road this season, the Rangers\u2019 29.1 power play percentage ranks third in the NHL.<\/p>\n
EARNING POINTS \u2013 The Rangers have earned points in five of their last six games since returning to the ice after\u00a0the Olympic break (3-1-2).<\/p>\n
Igor Shesterkin has helped New York earn a point in each of his last five games (3-0-2) and has allowed two or\u00a0fewer goals in 21 games this season, tied for the eighth-most in the league among all goaltenders. He became the sixth\u00a0goaltender in franchise history to register at least five 20-win seasons with the team.<\/p>\n
Mika Zibanejad scored the 133rd power play goal of his career, surpassing Nicklas Lidstrom (132) for the fifth-most\u00a0power play goals by a Swedish player in NHL history, and surpassed James Patrick (237) for the third-most power play points in Rangers history (238). He recorded his 41st multi-goal game with New York, tied for seventh in franchise history.<\/p>\n
Vladislav Gavrikov extended his point streak to five-straight games (3G-3A), the longest of his career. His five-game\u00a0point streak is tied for the third-longest active streak among all NHL blueliners and is the first Rangers defenseman to\u00a0do so since Erik Gustafsson (2023-24, 6 GP).<\/p>\n
Alexis Lafreniere scored his fourth power play goal of the season, a career season-high. He has tallied six points\u00a0through his last four games (2G-4A) and his 39 points this season rank third on the Rangers.<\/p>\n
Vincent Trocheck extended his assist streak to five-straight games (7A), tied for the fourth-longest active streak in\u00a0the league. He notched his third three-point game of the season (3A).<\/p>\n
Tye Kartye scored his first goal as a Ranger and notched his second career multi-point game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RANGERS NOTES POWER PLAYERS \u2013 Gabe Perreault, Alexis Lafreniere and Mika Zibanejad each scored a power play goal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":158770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10],"class_list":{"0":"post-158769","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-new-york-headlines","10":"tag-new-york-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=158769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/158770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=158769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=158769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
