Players to target: Chris Kreider, Mika Zibanejad, and Pavel Buchnevich
If Mika Zibanejad returns to the New York Rangers lineup tonight, their top line, which has been great with Zibanejad, will have a great matchup. The Anaheim Ducks are on the second half of a road back-to-back, and the Rangers' top line will likely avoid Ryan Getzlaf and Jakob Silfverberg.
The Zibanejad line has posted over 13 High-Danger Chances For per 60 minutes, while the Ducks have allowed the 11th-most High-Danger Chances Against per 60 minutes in the NHL in December. Each of these players will also play on the top power-play, and the Ducks have been short-handed the second most in the NHL this season.
