In the Rangers’ estimation, Filip Chytil is a forward who belongs in the top nine, if not the top six. It just so happened that with the emergence of Brett Howden, they couldn’t find those types of minutes for Chytil while he was still playing center. So it seems like first-year coach David Quinn is […]

Maybe it wasn’t just that Alain Vigneault had it in for Pavel Buchnevich. All signs were pointing to Buchnevich, the Rangers’ talented Russian winger, being a healthy scratch for Tuesday night’s Garden match against the Avalanche. Vigneault, the former Rangers’ coach, often thought he could get more out of Buchnevich and often marginalized his ice […]

Ron Duguay wants the record set straight. The former Rangers center says he was left in the dark over MSG’s reasoning not to bring him back as a TV analyst, and wants fans to know it was the network’s decision to end the relationship after 12 years.  “It’s been difficult for me as I walk […]

There were not a lot of people who thought Vladislav Namestnikov would still be a Ranger at this point, but he’s likely to be a Ranger through this year of rebuilding. The 25-year-old forward came to the Blueshirts as an add-on to the trade last February that sent Ryan McDonagh and J.T. Miller to the […]

The Devils have found a perfect combination for the start of the season. Kyle Palmieri scores early and goaltender Keith Kinkaid makes the lead stand up. Palmieri scored his seventh goal in four games, Kinkaid stopped 24 shots for his second shutout and the Devils continued their best start since the 1995-96 season with a […]

This was a bit of a new look for the Rangers, who are now seemingly listening to first-year head coach David Quinn as he demands they shoot first, crash the net second, and ask questions later. And it was also a big piece of redemption for one of the club’s most important players. So in […]

Development and winning hockey games are not mutually exclusive concepts. That is essential to keep in mind in examining the Rangers and David Quinn, the coach who was hired to shepherd this rebuilding operation to success. “If you’re coming into the league on a team where there’s a losing culture or an acceptance of losing, […]

The lesson to Pavel Buchnevich in the wake of his one-game scratch (for now) was that his understanding of what it means to work hard needed to change. That was the message sent by first-year head coach David Quinn after putting the 23-year-old Russian winger in street clothes for the 3-2 shootout victory over the […]

A big Islanders scare, before he’s even an Islander. Ruslan Iskhakov, a UConn freshman forward who was the Isles’ second-round pick in June, was flattened by a hit in a game against Quinnipiac on Tuesday night. The Huskies said he would be OK, but it didn’t immediately look like that in the third period. The 5-foot-7 […]

WASHINGTON — He should have known and he knows it. Henrik Lundqvist, that is, after facing Alex Ovechkin for 13-plus seasons, five playoff series, 39 regular-season games and 33 postseason matches (not to mention international competition), should have known the game’s most prodigious shooter would, well, shoot the puck. “It’s a lesson there,” the King […]
