1976

Don Murdoch’s Rookie Five-Goal Exploding Masterclass

Nineteen-year-old rookie Don Murdoch put on a breathtaking performance against the Minnesota North Stars, scoring five goals in just his fourth career NHL game during a 10-4 blowout victory. Murdoch became the first player in Rangers history to hit the five-goal mark, firing up a short-lived but legendary start to his career.

1985

Youngest Line-up In Rangers History

With an average age of just 23.80 years, the Rangers fall to the Hartford Whalers by the tune of 8-2. The young guns got off to a good start, scoring the first two goals in the first 2:05, but then give up a pair goals in each of the first and second, before Hartford blows it open in the third with four more goals. 22 year old John Vanbiesbrouck gives up 6 goals on 15 shots, while 28 year old Barry Beck is the oldest skater.

Injuries Force Another Call Up

Last night’s loss to the Islanders has further exacerbated the Rangers’ injury concerns. Already missing Pavel Buchnevich and Mika Zibanejad, New York also lost forwards Rick Nash (lower body) and Matt Puempel (concussion) during last night’s game.

Puempel was placed on Injury Reserve this morning, and Nicklas Jensen was called up from Hartford to replace him. On the positive side, Michael Grabner is expected to be back with the team after missing last night’s match due to the death of his Grandmother.

The Rangers do have spare forward Josh Jooris, who was a healthy scratch last night, so it is a little surprising that they are potentially looking at playing Jensen over a known quantity in Jooris. It’s possible they want to have a look at what they have in the young Swede at the NHL level.

As for Nash, the call-up suggests that there is some doubt he’ll play tomorrow night, though with the team being up in Winnipeg, it may simply be a case of covering their bases.
