    Mats Zuccarello had little to celebrate six games into his second stint with the New York Rangers.

    The 5-foot-7 spark plug had no goals and two assists in his return. Demanding coach John Tortorella noticed and wasn't pleased with the lack of production.

    On Wednesday, before the Rangers took the ice for the back end of a home-and-home series with Toronto, Tortorella called out Zuccarello, saying he needed to score -- in games and in shootouts.

    The message got through in a hurry.

    Zuccarello scored the lone goal in the shootout, and the Rangers overcame another two-goal performance by Phil Kessel to beat the Maple Leafs 3-2 on Wednesday night.
