Where Jesper Fast plays always seems to be fluctuating, but what he brings to the ice does not. “You know what you get out of him every night,” said center Mika Zibanejad, who, with Chris Kreider on his left, has welcomed Fast onto his right. “He’s going work hard. Obviously like everyone else, the puck’s […]

As of late in the week, no team had contacted the Rangers for permission to speak to Alain Vigneault since he was dismissed within hours of delivering his valedictory address following the team’s final game of last season in Philadelphia. But we wonder if that might change within the not-too-distant future. Specifically, we would suggest […]

PHILADELPHIA — Jake Voracek had a goal and had two assists, and the Flyers finally played some solid defense in a 5-2 win over the Devils on Saturday. Voracek, who was demoted from the Flyers’ top line, took a loose puck at center ice and kept it himself on a 2-on-1 breakaway, beating Keith Kinkaid […]

David Quinn stopped a drill at Rangers practice Saturday and adamantly told his team he wanted to see more urgency and pace and less sticking in spots on the power play. The unit has been better of late, but there’s still work to be done for the NHL’s 19th-ranked power play. The Rangers started the […]

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Brock Nelson scored the lone goal for the Islanders, who finished a road trip 1-3 after falling to the Sharks 4-1 on Saturday night. Robin Lehner made 37 saves after shutting out San Jose on Oct. 8. “At times we weren’t really fully engaged as a team, especially in the second. […]

Charles Wang had seen one hockey game before he bought the Islanders, and he was then the main reason they never left New York. He built a computer empire, not without controversy, but couldn’t build his famous Lighthouse Project in Uniondale, also not without controversy. He was a monumental philanthropist and loved his Islanders just […]

A lot of shots, just not a lot of good ones. The Rangers peppered the Flames with 45 shots, but still managed to lose 4-1 on Sunday night at the Garden. With the new philosophy of shooting more and crashing the net, the Blueshirts were able to create an ample amount of decent scoring chances. […]

There are going to be many more games when it seems like things just aren’t bouncing the right way for the Rangers. But they’re going to have to learn how to deal with it better than this, or it’s going to be an even more dreadful season than most expect. The Blueshirts suffered a 4-1 […]

That goose egg under the goal column next to Filip Chytil’s name isn’t what you want or what he or the Rangers need. But the 19-year-old’s dynamic third period in which he was on the puck shift in and shift out provided more than just a flicker of encouragement in Sunday’s largely discouraging 4-1 Garden […]

If Tony DeAngelo could go down to AHL Hartford, he probably would. But the 22-year-old Rangers defenseman would have to clear waivers in order to be sent down, which would not happen. So instead, he remained a healthy scratch for the sixth time in the first eight games with Sunday night’s 4-1 loss to the […]
