He’d been patiently waiting for his turn, and it took just over a month. The Rangers called up Lias Andersson from AHL Hartford on Monday evening, presumably to put him right into the lineup for Tuesday night’s Garden match against the Canadiens. It would be Andersson’s NHL season debut after the No. 7-overall pick from […]

By their own admission, the Islanders would have been thieves had they somehow been able to come out on top in this one. Even salvaging one point felt like something of a steal for the team that saw its strong early-season play vanish Monday night at Barclays Center. After building a two-goal lead in the […]

It was like a huge sigh of relief could be heard coming from the Rangers organization when it found out Monday that Brett Howden wasn’t seriously hurt. The 20-year-old center had been in a dangerous collision during the team’s 3-1 win over the Sabres on Sunday night at the Garden, getting tangled up before going […]

On a night when the Islanders’ top six went missing, Casey Cizikas nearly saved the day. The fourth-line grinder scored a pair of first-period goals — the second two-goal game of his career — but it wasn’t enough in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Canadiens on Monday night at Barclays Center. “Casey’s one of […]

CHICAGO — The Blackhawks have fired three-time Stanley Cup-winning coach Joel Quenneville.

If this one night was a referendum on whether Filip Chytil merits remaining on Broadway, New York, rather than being sent to Civic Center Plaza, Hartford, to serve an apprenticeship, then the 19-year-old gave the Rangers every reason to stick with him. For in this emotionally charged 5-3 victory over the Canadiens on Tuesday at […]

The kid is here to play, and likely to stay. After shaking off the disappointment of not making the team out of camp and instead forcing the Rangers’ hand with a strong 14-game stint at AHL Hartford, Lias Andersson made his season debut Tuesday in a 5-3 win over the Canadiens at the Garden. “I’ve […]

After being a healthy scratch for six straight games, Tony DeAngelo has returned to the ice with a purpose. The Rangers defenseman dressed for his fifth straight game Tuesday as they hosted the Canadiens, and was set to take over second-unit power-play duties in Brett Howden’s (upper-body injury) absence — another chance to increase his […]

A period after Neal Pionk had showed off his grit by sticking up for a teammate and getting physical, he flashed his flair just in time to lift the Rangers back to .500. With the game tied late in the third period, the defenseman gathered the puck behind his own net, spun away from a […]
