November Looks Tougher
As reassuring as October’s schedule was, particularly with the team struggling to get their offense going under Gerard Gallant, November looks somewhat more intimidating. The Rangers finish off their second four game road trip of this young season, with a swing through Western Canada, and then return to face the red hot Panthers at home. […]
Kakko Set To Return. Reaves Doubtful
Right wing Kaapo Kakko is set to return tomorrow night for the home ice match up against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Kakko has missed four games with an upper body injury suffered in the 2-1 win over Toronto, and has played just three of the Rangers’ seven games this season. The return of Kakko helps bolster a […]
Strome and Kakko Near Return
Six games into the season, the Rangers hold a 4-1-1 record and are sitting on a four-game winning streak, five games with at least a point. They’ve managed to accomplish this despite missing two of their top six forwards: Ryan Strome – 4 games COVID and Kaapo Kakko – 3 games Upper Body. In their absence, Gerard […]
Kakko on IR. Barron up. Kravtsov in Russia
Right wing Kaapo Kakko has been placed on injury reserve following an upper body injury sustained in last night’s win over the Montreal Canadiens. Kakko appeared to injury his shoulder in a collision, and will be unavailable until at least the home game against the Calgary Flames on the 25th. When asked about the severity of the […]
Lundkvist To Make Debut
Gerard Gallant has made three line-up changes for tonight’s home opener against the Dallas Stars. Igor Shesterkin will make his season debut, replacing Alexandar Georgiev who allowed 5 goals on 27 shots in last night’s 5-1 loss to the Capitals. While Gallant implied he would alternate goaltenders for back to back games, it was still a surprise decision that […]
Line up Set For Season Opener
Rangers have forecast their line-up for tonight, with the exception of the goaltender – who will be shared during warm-ups. With a game tomorrow night, it would seem the expectation currently is to use one guy tonight, and the other tomorrow at the home opener against Dallas. In terms of surprises, there are none from […]
Reaves Says He’s Good To Go
Ryan Reaves says he’s good to go for tomorrow night’s season opener in Washington. Reaves injured his leg in an awkward collision with PK Subban in the penultimate preseason game against the New Jersey Devils. He immediately left the ice and did not return for the remainder of the game. In conversations with reporters today, Reaves […]
Kravtsov Requests Trade
There’s been plenty of drama around former first round pick – 2018, 9th overall – since he was drafted by the Rangers, and it continued today with a report that the Rangers have given the 22 year old Russian permission to talk to other teams in order to facilitate a trade. Kravtsov was one of […]
October Outlook
Even with a shortened off-season, it still feels an age away since the Rangers last played a meaningful game. This is no longer Jeff Gorton’s team, and the expectation is that Gerard Gallant will lead this team back to the playoffs after a four year absence – excluding the play-oin 0-3 drubbing by Carolina in […]
Tonight’s Lineup at Devils
The Rangers head into tonight’s third preseason game with 34 players remaining on the roster, and about a week to trim at least 11 more players. Tonight will feature some of the remaining players battlign for inclusion in the final roster, as well as a few looks at different combinations. Up in the forward ranks, […]
