Should power zones and heart rate zones be in sync with each other? I did a ride the other night and my hr zone average was more skewed towards Z2, whereas power was more Z4. thoughs?
Not really.

No, only in broad strokes and on an average day.
+1 to all the above.
If you think about it, as you get fitter your heart rate should decline for a given power output. But so many influences can impact your heart rate, you may find yourself running a bit high or even just struggle to hit a heart rate due to fatigue. I could ride two exact workouts from one week to the next and see 10 bpm difference on the same intervals.
