Former first round pick, Filip Chyti looks set to return to the Rangers line-up as they face the St Louis Blues for the first time this season on Wednesday.

Sammy Blais Done For Season
Forward Sammy Blais is out for the season, having suffered a torn ACL. The injury occurred Sunday against the Devils, when New Jersey defenseman P.K. Subban appeared to push Blais’ leg into the boards. The 25 year old winger fell to the ice immediately, and had to be helped off the ice. As has been the case […]
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 […]
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 […]

Since these same two teams hit the ice just six days ago, the Rangers have lost Jacob Trouba (thumb), Kaapo Kakko (COVID), Artemi Panarin (personal leave) and now Miller. Given the […]
Miller and Panarin Out Tonight
New York will be without both Artemi Panarin and K’Andre Miller tonight, as they meet the Devils in their first game since last Friday. Panarin was close to rejoining the team, but they have decided to hold him out another game, and likewise it appears Miller could be out just for tonight’s game. With three straight losses, including two […]
Panarin Out and Blackwell Returns
It’s never is good timing when you lose your leading scorer to injury, but the Rangers will go into the rematch against the Boston Bruins tonight, without Artemi Panarin. Coming off a 3-2 OT loss on Wednesday, to make it two losses in two games after a modest 3-0-1 stretch to cap off the first 10 […]
