First and Foremost
With eleven games to go, the Rangers are nearing a position where they can clinch a playoff spot. Although they’ve nominally looked certain of a post season appearance for some weeks now, tomorrow night could make it official. The Blueshirts have already eliminated seven of the eight teams they need to, in order to clinch […]
Kreider Could Break Two Franchise Records
We all know that Chris Kreider is having a career year. Prior to this season, his career high was 28 goals, and 53 points, and he’s already blown past both those marks and still has 21 games remaining. He’s also threatening to become just the fourth player in Rangers history to reach the 50 goal mark, following […]
Possible Milestones This Season
With the season opener set for tonight in Washington, several Rangers look to hit new milestones this season, frontlined by the longest tenured Chris Kreider. With his inclusion in the line-up tonight, Kreider looks to be just the 40th player to appear in 10 different regular season contests. He is still some ways back of Rod Gilbert‘s […]
Net New
The Rangers projected line up for tomorrow’s opening Qualifying Round match will feature a lot of playoff newbies. In fact nine of the roster will make their first post season NHL appearance, after all these games will statistically count towards the player’s playoff stats, even if they are deemed a “qualifying” round. The nine include […]
Lundqvist Leads Rangers Milestones
After a long wait, we got our first chance to see the new look Rangers play a game that mattered. It was entertaining if not a little nerve-wracking, but the good guys came away with an opening night win on the back of a fine performance by Mika Zibanejad who lead the team and a productive first […]

Previously they had lost 5-8 to Carolina in the third game of the season, incidentally in Alexandar Georgiev‘s only other start. While New York have scored 10 goals with Georgiev in net, they have managed just 10 in the seven […]
Quinn Gets First Win
Last night the Rangers picked up their first win of the season, coming from 2-1 down to score in the final three minutes of regulation and then just over 30 seconds into overtime. Ir was the first tmie in franchise history that the Rangers have done this, with two defensemen scoring the goals within the […]
Rangers Still Searching For First Win
After three games, the Rangers are still looking for their first win and points of the season. It’s the first time they’ve gone winless in the first three games since 2011-12, and worst start to the year going back to 1998-99 when they lost their first four. There must be something about October 7th / 8th, because this […]
