New York Rangers: NHL rescinds Mika Zibanejad’s 5-minute major penalty

Tuesday night was not a great night for the NHL and officiating.

First, it was the Ottawa Senators receiving a gift goal vs. the New York Islanders after Robin Lehner was clearly interfered with. Then it was a debacle for the New York Rangers in Dallas.

With the Rangers on the powerplay, Mika Zibanejad would go back behind his net to try and get the puck. He would make contact with Stars forward Radek Faksa who went down and was slow to get up.

After there was originally no call, Zibanejad was given a five-minute major and ejected from the game.
