Grabner rediscovers scoring touch after slow midseason

Michael Grabner is back.

The New York Rangers winger has recaptured his scoring touch after slumping through the season's dog days, rebounding in a big way over the past six weeks:

Month GP Goals Points Goals/GP
October 9 5 6 0.56
November 15 7 10 0.47
December 13 2 3 0.15
January 10 7 9 0.70
February 4 4 5 1.00

Only three players have scored more goals than Grabner this season: Max Pacioretty, Jeff Carter, and Sidney Crosby. Not bad company.

Grabner joined the Rangers on July 1, an under-the-radar free-agent signing after he scored just nine goals with the Toronto Maple Leafs a year ago.

The Austrian-born forward is signed through the 2017-18 campaign, carrying a bargain $1.65-million cap hit.
