Zibanejad Helps Himself to New Stick (Video)

During the third period of Tuesday's Game 4 between the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes, Mika Zibanejad found himself without a stick.

He hustled back to the bench, where the equipment guys were preoccupied with fixing Alexis Lafreniere's helmet from a wrestling match with Andrei Svechnikov. None of his teammates on the bench seemed to notice he was in need of a new twig, so Zibanejad just helped himself.

Zibanejad was incredibly efficient in a very odd series of events. He was able to jump right back into the play without missing a beat. Zibanejad is currently 4th in points in the playoffs with 13 points - his stick should be a hot commodity.
