from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
Mika Zibanejad has been here before, a year ago actually, during the first-round series against the Penguins in which he went scoreless as the Rangers trailed in the series 3-2.
Three goals later from Zibanejad, two in Game 6 and one in Game 7, and the Rangers were on their way to the run that served as a platform for this 107-point season.
“You and I have talked at different times this year about what I learned going through that, and what I know is that I can’t let the fact that I haven’t scored get into my head,” Zibanejad told The Post after Monday’s 3-1 Game 4 defeat to the Devils that squared the series at two-all. “I can’t let that change the rest of my game that is also important.
“If it were up to me, I would have seven goals by now. Obviously I’m frustrated. I’m not happy. I know this is part of my job and I know that questions arise about it when we are losing. But I can’t dwell on that and I can’t dwell on me. It’s all about us.”
Below are the game highlights.
