- It was his first multi-goal game this season.
- Korpisalo made a key first-period save.

## Summary

Mika Zibanejad scored twice as the New York Rangers beat the Calgary Flames 3-1 in Calgary, ending his early-season goal drought. His goals matter for a Rangers side seeking more even-strength scoring from its leading centres, especially while its power play has struggled.

The 33-year-old Swedish centre scored on a rush less than a minute into the second period, then added a power-play one-timer from the left circle. It was his first multi-goal game of the season and the 46th of his NHL career; the power-play goal was his second of the season and first since the second game. Goaltender Joonas Korpisalo, making his second appearance of the season, helped keep the opening period scoreless with a stretching save.
