ST. LOUIS — This was a move made in the name of development. Rangers coach David Quinn decided that it would be best to make 19-year-old rookie forward Filip Chytil a healthy scratch for the first time this season for the 2-1 win over the Blues on Monday night. Chytil, the No. 21-overall pick in […]

The kaboom unit struck again. The Rangers got another power-play goal Monday night in St. Louis from the five-forward group coach David Quinn famously said he wanted to blow up — “kaboom” — after failing so drastically before the Christmas break. It was the third goal in the previous three games for that group, having […]

The Rangers had some calendar year in 2018 — and they’d like to forget most of what has transpired on the ice. It began with the Winter Classic win over the Sabres at Citi Field and ended with a 2-1 win Monday night at St. Louis. Coach Alain Vigneault’s record in 2018 was 13-27-4, while […]

Before David Quinn could fall on the sword for him, Henrik Lundqvist put the Rangers’ latest loss fully on himself. Shortly after he was named the team’s lone All-Star, Lundqvist’s night ended early, but not until he had allowed six goals on 18 shots in an ugly 7-2 loss to the Penguins at the Garden. […]

If the NHL hadn’t called upon Henrik Lundqvist to represent the Rangers at the Jan. 26 All-Star Game in San Jose, Calif., perhaps the Blueshirts could have sent a hologram in his place, because the fact is the franchise’s entire anti-tanking program basically consists of writing the King’s name on the lineup sheet and then […]

DALLAS — The Devils rallied twice from two-goal deficits, but couldn’t get over the hump. Miro Heiskanen celebrated his first All-Star nod with two goals, including a third-period tiebreaker to lift the Dallas Stars over the New Jersey Devils 5-4 on Wednesday night. Heiskanen and Tyler Seguin each scored twice after Jamie Benn tied it […]

Jimmy Vesey became the latest Ranger to earn a benching from coach David Quinn. The winger was an observer for the Rangers’ 7-2 loss to the Penguins on Wednesday night at the Garden, designated as a healthy scratch for just the second time in his three-year career. Quinn had not planned on putting Filip Chytil […]

Sidney Crosby can take a joke, and he knows a good one when he hears it. The Pittsburgh Penguins superstar center heard it all night long Wednesday from Rangers fan and heckler extraordinaire Nick Lipeika, who received an autographed stick for his jokes after Crosby posted a goal and an assist in the Pens’ 7-2 rout of […]

Playing it day by day with the goaltending situation had been easy for rookie Rangers coach David Quinn. All he pretty much had to do was run Henrik Lundqvist out there and watch him keep the team in games, if not downright win them himself. Well, no more. Quinn learned a hard lesson Wednesday night […]

New Jersey Devils coach John Hynes received a multiyear contract extension, a reward for making the playoffs last season for the first time since the Devils reached the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals. The team announced the deal Thursday, saying Hynes’ leadership was instrumental in building a culture and system for the development of the players. […]
