Tragic Death of First-Round Prospect Alexei Cherepanov
Nineteen-year-old rising star and Rangers 2007 first-round draft pick Alexei Cherepanov tragically suffered a fatal cardiac arrest and collapsed on the bench during a KHL game in Russia. Former Rangers captain Jaromir Jagr, who was playing on his line, rushed to his side. The sudden loss of the elite prospect sent profound shockwaves through the entire New York organization and the global hockey community.
OTG Notebook
The Good The Bad And The Ugly
It’s very early in the Rangers season and we’ve got some good vibes going after a 4-1-0 start. A 3-0 season opening loss to Boston has been followed up with four straight wins, including only the second franchise victory over the Utah Mammoth. It’s been a positive start to the year for a team that has plenty of questions around it.
Is this a precursor for things to come, or is this the same sort of mirage we saw in 2024-25 when the Rangers started 4-0-1 but then went on to collapse and miss the playoffs. We’ll take a look at what’s working, what’s maybe not, and what might be worrying going forward if it isn’t solved.

Yeah, the Pettersson-Durzi pair continues to get caved in terms of Corsi, they're even worse than the Schneider-Smits pair. While Pettersson did lead in ice time, the top 4...
Yeah, the Pettersson-Durzi pair continues to get caved in terms of Corsi, they're even worse than the Schneider-Smits pair. And Petterssen led the d in icetime agains...
Yes I was pissed when he started the season on the fourth line. Dork can't carry Kartye's sticks.
Yup and good to see some of the young guys chip in when the big money old guys don't. 6 goals and and no empty net cheapies and 2 against with 1 short handed against
Solid game against a team they should beat. Nice to see Kartye and Cuylle get their firsts...two of the hardest working guys to start the season. Nice to see Lafreniere extend hi...
Kartye #1 star?
