But for now, before all of that settles into place once the season ends, the 26-year-old and former first-round pick will have a chance to skate for Finland on an international stage for the first time since securing a gold medal \u2014 against Team USA and current teammate K\u2019Andre Miller \u2014 in the 2019 World Juniors.<\/p>\n<p>Zibanejad\u2019s goal in the Rangers\u2019 three-goal third period marked his 240th with the Rangers, placing him in a tie with Brian Leetch for the 10th-most in franchise history. <\/p>\n<p>It was also the 39th three-point game of his career \u2014 moving him ahead of Vic Hadfield and into eighth place in team history.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers scored multiple goals on the power play \u2014 Zibanejad, Artemi Panarin \u2014 for the fifth time this season.<\/p>\n<p>Filip Chytil scored a goal in his first game with the Canucks since the blockbuster trade Friday that brought Miller to the Rangers, and he told reporters before the game that the potential for more ice time is \u201cwhat I\u2019m happy about\u201d \u2014 while calling the Rangers\u2019 spiral this season a \u201cvery difficult stretch\u201d given what unfolded during their Presidents\u2019 Trophy campaign last year. <\/p>\n<p>He also told reporters he was watching a \u201cHarry Potter\u201d movie when he found out about the deal.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Edstrom, who exited Saturday\u2019s game with a lower-body injury, was out and still being evaluated, according to Laviolette. <\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Vesey took his spot on the fourth line alongside Sam Carrick and Matt Rempe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic The Rangers will have another representative during the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament later this month, as defenseman Urho Vaakanainen was added to Team Finland\u2019s roster as an injury replacement 10 days before the first game.
