This is becoming a ritual for the Rangers. When Henrik Lundqvist turned 36 last March 2, the King faced 51 shots and stopped 50 of them in the Rangers’ 3-1 victory in Calgary. So naturally, when Alexandar Georgiev turned 23 on Sunday, the Bulgarian faced 56 shots and stopped 55 of them in the Blueshirts’ […]

David Quinn has sent the message to Jimmy Vesey in different ways, but now he’s getting the desired result. Last month, it was by scratching the Rangers left wing for a game against the Penguins.

BUFFALO — The Islanders tried to play cute — and the result wasn’t pretty. “When we start playing cute, we don’t have a whole lot of success,” forward Matt Martin said after the Isles saw their three-game win streak end with a 3-1 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday night. Martin — who set up […]

When it comes to celebrating Lindsey Vonn’s accomplished career, P.K. Subban might just be the GOAT. Vonn, who won a bronze medal in the world championship downhill on Sunday, called it a career earlier than expected after persistent pain in both her surgically repaired knees. She came home to Subban, her boyfriend and the Predators […]
