The Rangers have boasted all season about their depth on the blue line, and recent events are making that easier to prove. The club announced Wednesday that Kevin Shattenkirk is going to miss two to four weeks with a separated left shoulder suffered on a hit from the Lightning’s J.T. Miller during the 6-3 loss […]

The NHL season is often considered a grind, and yet the Rangers are currently coasting. They also have gotten healthier without some key players missing what could have been quite a few more games. The Blueshirts will end a streak of just two games in 10 days when they host the Coyotes at the Garden […]

The Rangers believe Lias Andersson, in terms of his development, is best served staying in the NHL. That includes the possibility of the precocious 20-year-old forward being a healthy scratch for a few games, which could start with Friday night’s Garden match against the Coyotes. Andersson skated as an extra forward at Thursday’s practice after […]

A strange wrinkle has been added, courtesy of William Nylander. As the Maple Leafs terrific young forward held out until hours before the deadline and then finally signed a contract extension on the afternoon of Dec. 1, it became clear that the script had flipped between teams and players when it comes to restricted free […]

The Rangers are a shaky team. “We’re in a little rut,” coach David Quinn said after Friday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Coyotes on Derek Stepan’s goal at 4:28. It represented the second […]

David Quinn neither hemmed nor hawed when asked why he had chosen to go with Matt Beleskey on the fourth line for Friday night’s Garden match against the Coyotes while designating Lias Andersson as a healthy scratch. “I think Lias needs to take a step back and we need to help him become a better […]

So here’s the question, the Devils’ rather stunning 5-4 overtime victory over Vegas on Friday in a game they trailed 3-0 before E-Z Pass could even register your toll charge, notwithstanding: Is New Jersey showing enough to Taylor Hall that the NHL’s reigning Hart Trophy winner will sign an extension this summer and thus alleviate […]

Not afforded the luxury of instant replay, Neal Pionk thought he was just being a good teammate. The Rangers defenseman was skating back to cover Coyotes winger Christian Fischer on Friday night when the two got tangled going hard to the net, which resulted in Henrik Lundqvist getting knocked onto his back. Pionk immediately went […]
