Mats Zuccarello returns to MSG

For nine seasons, Mats Zuccarello brought his unique brand of hockey to Broadway. Small, fiesty, and incredibly skilled, the winger won over fans pretty quickly, enjoying a breakout season in 2013-2014 while partnered with Derick Brassard and Benoit Pouliot. That was the start of five straight seasons with 50 points, six if you include his 50 point pace in 2018-2019.

But as expected, with the Rangers rebuilding, Zuccarello represented a primary trade chip, and he was sent to Dallas for what turned into second and third round picks. In 509 games with the Rangers, Zuccarello put up a line of 113-239-352.
