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 […]

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.

Devon Toews picked a great time to get his first NHL goal and keep the Islanders’ winning streak going. Toews knocked in the rebound of his own shot at 1:48 of overtime to lift the Islanders past the Blackhawks 3-2 Thursday night for their fifth straight win in their fourth game os the season at […]

A big part of what made David Quinn an attractive coaching candidate for the Rangers this summer was his previous experience as a head coach in the AHL and as an assistant in the NHL. On Friday, he returns to face the lone pro franchise that had employed him, as Quinn’s Blueshirts make their only […]
