The original thought was not for Henrik Lundqvist to be in nets Saturday night. David Quinn had planned to give backup Alex Georgiev the nod against the Panthers, but when the Islanders bull-rushed the Rangers for seven goals Thursday night — five on Lundqvist, largely by no fault of his own on a flurry of […]

Click:全国楼凤论坛 All the way from Edmonton and straight into the lineup. Ryan Strome arrived at the Garden on Saturday in time to make his Rangers debut in a 4-2 win over the Panthers after coming over in Friday’s trade with the Oilers for Ryan Spooner. “We feel his best hockey is ahead of him and […]

The suddenly surging Islanders lost some momentum Sunday in a 6-2 loss to the Stars at Barclays Center. Anthony Beauvillier and Scott Mayfield scored for the Islanders, who lost in regulation at home for just the third time in their past 12 games (7-3-2). Starting goalie Thomas Greiss had 16 saves but was pulled after […]

Because the Rangers want to know what they’ve got, the plan was not to ease Ryan Strome into the mix. Instead, the 25-year-old forward — obtained Friday in a swap with the Oilers for fellow underachiever Ryan Spooner — was back in a top-nine role for his second straight game when the Blueshirts played host […]

David Quinn noticed it in the morning, and it was easy to see it at night. The atmosphere around the Rangers has quickly changed into something almost light-hearted, bordering on joyous. And it’s painted right there on the fresh face of 19-year-old Filip Chytil, who has spent the past week breaking out of his cocoon […]

Second, they wanted to make it just as clear that the two-game benching that looks to be over with his reinsertion to the lineup for Wednesday night’s rivalry rematch against the Islanders at […]

Henrik Lundqvist not only got a day off from practice on Tuesday, the Rangers franchise goalie is also set to sit and watch his backup, Alex Georgiev, start against the Islanders on Wednesday night in the Garden. The 36-year-old Lundqvist has started 17 of the team’s first 21 games, with the most recent of Georgiev’s […]

Barry Trotz was talking about the identity the Islanders had established under his watch in his first year behind the bench. Beyond the “Tough to play against” tag and “five-man structure,” the coach talked about how his team has “to go with a four-line mentality because we’re not loaded with top-end talent.” Mat Barzal and […]

A Broadway exorcism on the eve of Thanksgiving. So it was with the Rangers being able to finally put down the Islanders in a 5-0 blowout victory on Wednesday night at the Garden that marked just their second win against their rival in the previous 14 games, going back three-plus years. It also was the […]
