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 […]

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 […]

Over a year later, and the normal fixture that occurs right after the NHL Draft has been moved out as a replacement for the Traverse City […]
Camp Set To Start Around September 22nd
Perhaps the only advantage of the ongoing COVID situation is that this season’s Summer is about a month shorter than normal. Normally you’d expect a team that missed the playoffs to be off the ice in early April, and then a substantial gap between the July1st free agency period and the restart of festivities in […]
Shesterkin Declines Arbitration
