Mika Zibanejad scored twice and added an assist to continue his success against the Philadelphia Flyers as the New York Rangers skated to a comfortable 6-2 road victory on Monday.
Zibanejad, who has logged three of his 10 career hat tricks against the Flyers (including one earlier this season), increased his goal total to 25 in 52 career games against Philadelphia.
Vincent Trocheck contributed three assists for the Rangers, while Alexis Lafreniere, Noah Laba, Gabe Perreault and Tye Kartye each had a goal and an assist.
Igor Shesterkin turned aside 32 shots as New York improved to 3-5-2 in the past 10 games.
Dan Vladar allowed six goals on 24 shots for Philadelphia before Samuel Ersson finished off by saving all three shots he faced. Matvei Michkov and Sean Couturier scored for the Flyers, who had won four of their previous five contests.
Laba tallied on a rebound just 1:04 into the contest, but New York was just getting started.
About 12 minutes later, Zibanejad deposited a goal off a feed from Lafreniere. The two connected again in the final minute of the period with Lafreniere scoring on a power play off a good look from Zibanejad.
Michkov's power-play goal got Philadelphia on the scoreboard about four minutes into the second period. However, the Flyers' momentum didn't last long, as the Rangers scored three more goals before the period ended.
Less than three minutes after Michkov's tally, Perreault scored a power-play goal on a rebound to make it 4-1. The visitors then tacked on two goals 20 seconds apart late in the period to turn the game into a rout.
Zibanejad's power-play goal off a nifty no-look pass from Perreault put the Rangers ahead 5-1 at 18:40. Shortly after the ensuing faceoff, Kartye scored on a deflection in front to make it 6-1.
Couturier found the net late in the third period to cap the scoring.
