After only scoring 3 points in 11 October games, Mats Zuccarello had 12 points in 15 November games and has 6 points in 7 December games.
Dave Maloney said after the Rangers beat the Sabres, “I talked with Jeff Gorton and he brought up that Zuccarello was as good a player that the Rangers have had over the last 10 games. Tonight he just continued to be an offensive player. What I love about him is how patient he is before he decides what to do with the puck.”
Maloney said before the Rangers played the Flames, “he is a wonderful character. What he does in a lot of areas on the ice is that he gets into position to make a play. He is not afraid to stir up. He is very patient with the puck.”
Joe Micheletti said that he spoke with Zuccarello and that Zuccarello is trying to be more patient with the puck and stop trying to rush or force passes and plays.
According to NHL.com, Zuccarello is on pace for 15 goals and 37 assists.

I love the little Hobbit and though he isn;t your proto-typical top 6 player because of his size, he sure is playing like one. Nash, Kreider, Zucc have been our 3 best forwards this season. Zucc is noticeable everytime he is on the ice, and I love the fact he is shooting more, we all know he has tremendous play-making ability, but he also has one of the best shots on the team, IMO. Would love to see us show more committment to him and lock him up for at least 3 more seasons, he's proved he's worth it. And he's showed he is willing to stay here at a cheap price.
