Jimmy Vesey is a young guy, too. “It’s like I became a veteran overnight,” the 25-year-old out of Harvard said. “The two or three years that I’ve been here, we’ve developed somewhat of a core group that I’m a part of. It’s a good dynamic. It’s a good feeling.” Suddenly, there is a very good […]

Brock Nelson won’t be mistaken for the man who wore No. 91 in blue and orange, but early on he has efficiently plugged the hole on the Islanders’ top line left by John Tavares’ departure for Toronto. As the center playing big minutes between Anders Lee and Josh Bailey, Nelson entered Monday’s tilt against the […]

He’d been patiently waiting for his turn, and it took just over a month. The Rangers called up Lias Andersson from AHL Hartford on Monday evening, presumably to put him right into the lineup for Tuesday night’s Garden match against the Canadiens.

On a night when the Islanders’ top six went missing, Casey Cizikas nearly saved the day.

CHICAGO — The Blackhawks have fired three-time Stanley Cup-winning coach Joel Quenneville. General manager Stan Bowman announced the startling dismissal of Quenneville and assistants Kevin Dineen and Ulf Samuelsson on Tuesday and appointed Jeremy Colliton the new coach. Chicago was off to a 6-6-3 start and missed the playoffs last season. Quenneville took over as […]

Members of the Ottawa Senators released an apology on Tuesday morning, hours after dash cam video leaked of a vehicle full of players openly mocking the team and its management. The five-minute clip, recording on October 29th in Phoenix, shows a number of Senators players, including Matt Duchene, Chris Wideman, Thomas Chabot and Chris Tierney […]

If this one night was a referendum on whether Filip Chytil merits remaining on Broadway, New York, rather than being sent to Civic Center Plaza, Hartford, to serve an apprenticeship, then the 19-year-old gave the Rangers every reason to stick with him. For in this emotionally charged 5-3 victory over the Canadiens on Tuesday at […]

The kid is here to play, and likely to stay. After shaking off the disappointment of not making the team out of camp and instead forcing the Rangers’ hand with a strong 14-game stint at AHL Hartford, Lias Andersson made his season debut Tuesday in a 5-3 win over the Canadiens at the Garden. “I’ve […]
