The National Hockey League announced today that New York Rangers forward Mika Zibanejad has been selected to participate in the 2022 NHL All-Star Game through the NHL All-Star "Last Men In" fan vote. Due to personal reasons, Zibanejad will not be attending the All-Star Game.
Zibanejad, 28, has been selected to his first career All-Star Game and is the third member of the Rangers (Chris Kreider and Adam Fox) to be selected to the event in Las Vegas on February 5.
It is the 34th time in franchise history that the Rangers have had three or more players selected to the same All-Star Game and first since 2011-12 (Henrik Lundqvist, Dan Girardi, Marian Gaborik). Since 1976-77, New York has had three or more players selected to an All-Star Game nine times (2021-22, 2011-12, 2001-02, 1996-97, 1995-96, 1993-94, 1992-93, 1991-92, 1976-77).
