"He just gives us so much more depth. It's amazing what one center can do to your whole lineup. Your lineup looks a lot longer and a lot deeper." -- Rangers coach David Quinn on center Mike Zibanejad, who will play his second game since returning from an upper-body injury "We're not scared to play in an 0-0 game.
