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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. It was a special game that way,” said Bergeron, only the fifth player in Bruins’ history to […]

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.

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 […]

The rebuilding Devils traded a respected and inspirational part of their present on Wednesday for a chance to build for the future — dealing 2017 Masterton Trophy winner Brian Boyle to the Predators for a second-round pick in this June’s NHL draft. Boyle, 34, thus gets a chance to win a Stanley Cup with the […]

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 […]

A lot of things crossed Thomas Hickey’s mind over the past seven weeks, as the post-concussion symptoms would not leave the Islanders defenseman alone. When would he be able to come back? Could this be it for his season? Would this affect the way he lives the rest of his life? “I think it does […]
