Job security is all relative, especially in the NHL and especially around this time of year. All it takes to drive home that point is a few minutes talking to Brady Skjei, the lone Ranger signed beyond the 2021-22 season. As the 24-year-old defenseman knows, there are a few players on his team who are […]

Tony DeAngelo talks with the hubris of a 23-year-old, one-time 19th-overall entry draft selection who can skate like the wind, move the puck, and possesses both an edge and elite offensive instincts, rather than as the fourth-year pro on his third organization off a two-game sentence in street clothes because of what his coach called, […]

This wasn’t anywhere close to the 2014 Stanley Cup final, but boy, the Kings have a special way of breaking the Rangers’ hearts. Despite the Blueshirts holding a one-goal lead with less than a minute to play in regulation Monday night at the Garden, they ended up losing, 4-3 in overtime, on a sequence of […]

It’s been some run for Mika Zibanejad, and now he’s atop an impressive list in the Rangers’ history book. The top-line center broke a franchise record when he contributed on the ninth and 10th consecutive goals for the Rangers during their 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings on Monday night at the Garden. The streak […]

BOSTON — The Islanders can’t win them all. Patrice Bergeron celebrated his 1,000th career game with a pair of goals as the Boston Bruins beat the New York Islanders 3-1 on Tuesday night. “It’s been a fun ride.

New Jersey Devils fans came to the Prudential Center to jeer Ilya Kovalchuk. The home team certainly didn’t give them a reason to cheer. Tyler Toffoli scored twice in 35 seconds early in the third period to spark the Los Angeles Kings to a 5-1 victory over the Devils on Tuesday night at Prudential Center […]

There it was, the dreaded on-ice conversation at the end of practice: Rangers coach David Quinn talking in an animated way, young defenseman Neal Pionk nodding his head in acknowledgment. This is how a player gets notified he is going to be a healthy scratch. Pionk, 23, has played a lot of difficult minutes for […]

Politicians from Nassau County have starting petitioning the NHL to allow the Islanders to play home playoff games at the Coliseum rather than Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, where the team and the league would make far more money. Letters were sent to commissioner Gary Bettman on Tuesday, including ones from County Executive Laura Curran and State […]

Alex Georgiev is not planning for an increased workload down the stretch, even though that seems likely to happen. Instead, the Rangers’ backup goalie is taking one day at a time — which includes a scheduled start for the Garden match against the Bruins on Wednesday night. “Hockey is so unpredictable, you can’t plan even […]

Trading Cody McLeod to the Predators for a 2020 seventh-round draft pick, as the Rangers did prior to facing the Bruins at the Garden on Wednesday, “made a lot of sense,” coach David Quinn said. “I loved having Cody here,” said Quinn, who as an assistant previously had coached McLeod in Colorado in 2012-13. “This […]
