Domingue Set To Make Debut
With Igor Shesterkin and Jonathan Quick both sidelined with injuries, the Rangers will turn to third string netminder Louis Domingue for the start tonight against Minnesota. It’ll be the first game for the Rangers since signing in the Summer of 2022 following a solid performance in the playoffs for the Pittsburgh Penguins – against the […]
Injuries Sideline Fox, Chytil and Shesterkin
After a relatively healthy year last season, the Rangers have been hit with some injuries to key players that could stifle their early season momentum. Heading into tomorrow’s night’s game in Minnesota, the team will be without four of their starters, with Barclay Goodrow also sitting out to be with his expectant partner. With the […]
Bruins Shutout Rangers On Rainy Night
The New York Rangers opened their preseason tonight with a 3-0 loss in Boston. Starting 45 minutes later than scheduled due to travel delays, it took probably another 20-30 minutes for the team to properly find its rhythm, and except for some costly mistakes, the visiting Blueshirts probably ended the game with more quality chances. […]
5 More Cut From Camp
The Rangers trimmed their training camp roster to 29 players, with goaltender Louis Domingue also placed on waivers in order to send him down. That will iultimately leave at least five, and probably six more players to cut prior to the October 11th season opener. Sent down today were forwards Will Cuylle, Lauri Pajuniemi and Tim Gettinger, along with […]
Day 2 – Team C Wins Scrimmage
The second day of training camp is in the books, and the Rangers continue to conduct a scrimmage in the morning, followed by on-ice work later in the day.

From Foe To Friend – Domingue Joins Rangers
In their third UFA signing of the day, the Rangers added netminder Louis Domingue on a two year, one-way contract worth $775,000 AAV. The signing brings together the former third string goaltender, and unlikely starter in the first round of the 2022 playoffs, and the team that he helped hold at bay for the better part of […]
Anticipation Meets Reality
Most pundits and even a lot of fans, looked at this series against the Pittsburgh Penguins as pretty much a win for the Rangers. The Rangers had won the season series 3-1, with all three wins coming in the last six weeks of the season. By contrast, the Penguins had limped through the second half […]
Experience v Youth
Experience, depth, defense, goaltending, physical play…there’s a lot of things that pundits attribute success in the playoffs to. The Stanley Cup can be won in as few as 16 games, or as many as 28. It’s a grind, a war of attrition to see who will have the opportunity to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup at […]
Penguins and Rangers Deal With Injuries
Already without starting netminder Tristan Jarry, who suffered a bone fracture in his foot in mid-April, the Penguins will head into tonight’s Game 2 without their second choice. Casey DeSmith left the second OT against the Rangers in Game 1, and appears to be out for at least the rest of the first round with […]
