Pavel Zacha is back from the minor leagues and brimming with confidence. Zacha scored twice, Taylor Hall had a goal and an assist, and the Devils beat the Canadiens 5-2 on Wednesday night at the Prudential Center in Newark. The teams were tied 1-1 in the first period before New Jersey scored four straight goals. […]

You know what was most special about the Rangers’ 5-0 victory over the Islanders at the Garden on Thanksgiving Eve? The fact that it somehow seemed routine even while it represented the Blueshirts’ first victory in nine games (1-7-1) in the Battle of the Hudson and second in 14 (2-10-2) since the start of 2015-16. […]

It was easy to see the difficulty of the decision drawn on David Quinn’s face. But it was one the Rangers coach felt he had to make, scratching defenseman Brendan Smith for Wednesday night’s 5-0 thumping of the Islanders at the Garden. It was the fourth time in the past six games that Smith has […]

The assumption, apparently naïve, was that scouring the league for opinions on the surprising hot streak of the Rangers was going to bring some measured perspective.

Travis Konecny had a goal, two assists and got into fight, Jordan Weal scored an empty-net goal and Claude Giroux had three […]

The reaction was less joy than it was relief. Because if the Islanders had blown this one, it would have hurt — a lot. But despite choking away three separate one-goal leads — including one with 10.2 seconds remaining in regulation — they were able to pull out a 4-3 overtime victory against the Devils […]

PHILADELPHIA — Well, at least Henrik Lundqvist was able to practice making snow angels. With the onset of winter upon us, that represents the most constructive use of essentially any Ranger’s time here Friday afternoon, the goaltender set upon through most of the match in a 4-0 defeat to the Flyers that served as a […]

PHILADELPHIA — Mats Zuccarello, sidelined because of a groin issue for the past three games and six of the previous seven matches, made his return on the Rangers fourth line Friday afternoon.
