Here comes a glimpse of the early returns as the Rangers believe defenseman Ryan Lindgren is ready for his look in the NHL, so they called him up from AHL Hartford on Monday and he is expected to play in Tuesday night’s Garden match against the Hurricanes. Lindgren, 20, was part of the deal last […]

Another one of the prospects derived from the Purge of ’18 has arrived on Broadway. Ryan Lindgren, the 20-year-old defenseman acquired from Boston in the Rick Nash deal, joined 20-year-old center Brett Howden, obtained from Tampa Bay in the Ryan McDonagh-JT Miller extravaganza, in the lineup and did just fine in Tuesday’s 6-2 Garden victory […]

It’s not a good sign when the coach needs to rip into his team to get it to respond. But at least in those instances, seeing the team actually respond is far better than the alternative, even if it is against a familiar patsy. And so two days after David Quinn’s diatribe killing the Rangers’ […]

The two points came harder than they had to, but the Islanders will take them just the same. Valtteri Filppula came off the bench in overtime, took a pass from Mathew Barzal and buried a wrister with 1:37 remaining in the extra period to lift the Islanders to a 2-1 win against the Blues on […]

COLUMBUS, Ohio — There was no eight-goal outburst from the Devils this time, which meant a mini two-game winning streak came to an abrupt end. Joonas Korpisalo had 29 saves, three Columbus players recorded a goal and an assist and the Blue Jackets beat the New Jersey Devils 4-1 on Tuesday night. The Devils had […]

Matt Martin played five regular-season and six playoff games against Barry Trotz’s former team, the Capitals, while wearing a Maple Leafs sweater over the past two years. He just didn’t leave a lasting impression on Trotz, now his coach with the Islanders. But there was another Martin who Trotz did remember, the one who played […]

The debut is behind him, and now Ryan Lindgren can move on in his task of trying to be a full-time NHL player. The 20-year-old defenseman had an admirable performance in the Rangers’ 6-2 win over the Hurricanes on Tuesday night at the Garden. Paired alongside Kevin Shattenkirk, the lefty-shot Lindgren got 15:22 of ice […]

When you’re a goalie, you can’t play with snow. Marc-Andre Fleury found that out Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets, as he got caught by referees trying to build a snow wall in front of the net during a 4-1 loss. The Golden Knight’s creation was soon destroyed by the referees. Fleury was seen laughing […]

It remains hard to take down John Scott. The retired NHL enforcer experienced a scary moment on Sunday when he went to clear a patch of ice on Cedar Lake in Traverse City, Michigan, and instead ended up in the cold water. “It was a nice day, the sun was out, so I thought I’d […]

There have been false starts before with Kevin Shattenkirk — actually, his year and half with the Rangers has essentially been a false start, hasn’t it? — but it feels like there is something different about the defenseman’s revival over the last week or so. It has been understated — routine, even — the way […]
