Mika Zibanejad scores first career goal
Mika Zibanejad - C - Ottawa Senators
Jan. 30, 2013 - 11:20 PM ET

Mika Zibanejad scored his first career goal Wednesday night in the Senators' 5-1 win over the Canadiens.

It was the 19-year-old's 11th career game. He played 8:15 and with the Senators playing so well, it wouldn't be surprising to see him sheltered a bit, at least initially. Zibanejad has the ability to become a frontline forward, and is also pretty responsible in his own end. He had 11 points in 23 AHL games this season. Don't expect the world right away, but know that the potential is there to be a fantasy asset down the road.
