Mats Zuccarello strong play this past season only reinforced why he is an integral piece of the New York Rangers’ core. The 5’7’’ right-winger maintained his role as the team’s spark plug between his skilled production and fearless play. His actions on and off the ice were rewarded in three of the last four seasons (including this season) with the Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award as well.
Zuccarello tied his second-highest season point total with 59-points (15 goals, 44 assists). Those 59 points led the Rangers in scoring, while also accumulating the highest number of assists on the team (44).
