Rangers Starting To Get Healthy

The Rangers have struggled of late, going 1-4-1 in their last six as they suffered through the loss of several forwards. As gamely as the team played, it’s been clear that the likes of Timothy Gettinger, Vinni Lettieri and Steven Fogarty are still works in progress rather than regular NHLers who can contribute. Fogarty is expected to remain […]
McQuaid improving

Veteran defensenman Adam McQuaid is nearing return, and could be available in two weeks according to head coach David Quinn. McQuaid has been out of the line-up since October 25th when he suffered an undisclosed lower-body injury that has kept him from playing, and he is yet to resume practicing with the team. Acquired before the season […]
Georgiev Bounces Back

The Rangers matched their season high of five goals, though this time they came away with a win. 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 […]
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 […]
Stats and Facts – Rangers Lose Again In Opener

The Rangers opened up their 91st season – 92nd year – with a 3-2 loss to the Nashville Predators, reigning President’s Trophy winners. It was the second straight year they have opened their season against a Western Conference team, losing last year to Colorado 4-2 as well. It was the third straight time they’ve opened the season […]
Always Look On The Bright Side

The chances of the Rangers winning the Stanley Cup, let alone making the playoffs appear relatively remote this season. The first officially sanctioned team rebuild is well underway, and the roster looks more akin to a team that is simply running the season down at the end of the year, than one that is entering […]
Several Rangers To Hit Milestones

The Rangers kick off their 2018-19 season Thursday night against the Nashville Predators, and there are a handful of players who will mark new milestones with their first games of the season. At the top of the class is Henrik Lundqvist, who is appearing in his 14th regular season on Broadway, just the ninth player in […]
First Look Lines

Following the roster cuts on Friday, and the delayed reassignment of Brandon Crawley on Sunday due to injury concerns, the Rangers have reached their 23 player roster, plus the two injured forwards – Matt Beleskey and Cristoval Nieves. Saturda’s practice saw the team turn out with their first possible line combination following the cuts, and there were few surprises in […]
Brendan Smith Back In The Line-up

New Rangers head coach David Quinn likes team toughness and he prefers zone coverage over man to man, two things that might aid defenseman Brendan Smith in his quest to return to the starting line-up after a disappointing first full season with the Rangers. The 29 year old Canadian looked like a good pick up when he […]
Projected Line-up Against Flyers

The Rangers are projected to go into their second pre-season game with a significantly different roster from last night’s opening preseason victory against the Devils. Tony DeAngelo and Pavel Buchnevich get their second games, while eighteen players will see their first action of the preseason. The players to miss out include forward invitee Bobby Butler and veteran Mats […]
