New York Rangers defenseman Michael Del Zotto was named the NHL's Rookie of October after posting 12 points in 14 games. Del Zotto scored 4 goals and had 8 assists to lead all rookies in scoring for the first month in the new york rangers jersey. He was selected by the Rangers with the 20th pick in the 2008 Entry Draft, scoring his first goal in only his second game. He added a goal and an assist two days later.
"Forget about his skill and all the points he's put on the board, but it's the way he handles himself," Rangers coach John Tortorella said. "I don't think he's afraid to make mistakes so it allows him to try to make a difference. That's pretty unique for a 19-year-old guy playing the toughest position in the game."
