There is potential for such drama up in Toronto that it’s almost hard not to root for a renegade general manager to really throw a wrench into the mix. There is no bias here for or against the Maple Leafs (or any other team, for that matter). But there is a bias for wanting action, […]

It seems as if Rangers coach David Quinn wants at least one more game to look at Pavel Buchnevich on the left side, a place the winger previously had never played at any point in his career. In doing so, Quinn seems as if he’s about to put Buchnevich with the 20-year-old rookie center who […]

The Rangers have invested a lot in Brady Skjei to be a top-tier defenseman, and that comes with quite a bit of responsibility. It also might include being a partner for Kevin Shattenkirk, as the veteran is set to return from his one-game scratch with Saturday’s matinee at the Garden against the Oilers. The two […]

We have no idea how the NHL settled upon 27 games as the length of the suspension imposed on Austin Watson after the Nashville forward pleaded no contest to a domestic assault charge in July. The league has no domestic violence policy. Matters of this sort are left to the commissioner’s sole discretion under Article […]

The idea now is for the Rangers not to get too discouraged after a performance like this, a sleepy 2-1 loss to the Oilers on Saturday afternoon at the Garden that was at least a step in the right direction in terms of defending for 60 minutes. But a loss is still a loss, and […]

It seems like that’s it for sitting Neal Pionk. First-year Rangers coach David Quinn made clear his confidence in the 23-year-old defenseman after he had scratched Pionk for the second straight game during the team’s 2-1 loss to the Oilers in a Saturday matinee at the Garden. “Pionk is going to play a lot of […]

The coach who was hired to develop kids didn’t dress either of his two youngest defensemen and benched one of his top-six kids up front for most of the third period of Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to the Oilers at the Garden in which the Rangers played well enough to lose to a bad team. Guess […]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Islanders have got to be glad they’re done with the Predators for at least the regular season. Filip Forsberg scored twice and Viktor Arvidsson had a goal and an assist as Nashville beat the Isles for the second time in a week Saturday night, this time 5-2. The Islanders also lost […]

Probably the most interesting fact about these Rangers, just germinating under first-year head coach David Quinn, is that you never quite know what to expect. They have now dropped to 1-4-0 after a low-energy, no-pace 2-1 loss to Connor McDavid on Saturday afternoon at the Garden, with Edmonton’s perennial Hart Trophy contender proving to be […]

Auston Matthews of the Maple Leafs isn’t the only goal-scorer lighting it up in the NHL. Take a look at Kyle Palmieri of the Devils. Palmieri scored two goals for the third straight game and the Devils rallied from their first deficits of the season to beat the Sharks 3-2 at Prudential Center on Sunday. […]
