The New York Rangers are in an interesting place as they are two games above .500, but are three points back with three more games played out of a playoff spot in the East that is a lot better than the West. It is a little too early to make a decision on the future of the season, but the time is quickly approaching. According to Vince Mercogliano, "The Rangers have been looking to add a top-9 forward, with Kiefer Sherwood a primary target. Injuries to Fox and Shesterkin could push them in more...

The New York Rangers might be drifting toward a trade-deadline identity crisis, and the latest chatter says Chris Drury is already preparing to make some huge moves.

The Athletic’s Vincent Z. Mercogliano framed Shesterkin’s timeline as the swing factor, but the bigge...

With so many of the top pending UFAs now locked up to new extensions with their current teams, next summer's free agent frenzy has been greatly diminished at the top end. But one name—the No. 1 name—that we haven't been hearing much about, Artemi Panarin, is starting to emerge in trade talk. The New York Rangers ' leading scorer is wrapping up a seven-year, $11.6 million AAV deal. But at the age of 34, there are a lot of questions about what kind of deal, at least in term, he'll be able ...

In a perfect world, I think the top five should have one team from each division. That’s not about spreading the hype or artificial parity. It’s just the reality of the current playoff format, where each division is virtually assured of sending one team to the final four. (The exception would be a crossover wildcard “winning” a division it wasn’t even in, which would be very funny but has sadly never happened. Yet.) If our top five is about the long-term view, projecting ahead to an eventual C...

Fresh off a rather lackluster performance at Winter Classic, the Florida Panthers (21-16-3) return to Amerant Bank Arena to play host to the juggernaut that is the Colorado Avalanche (31-2-7) this evening. The Panthers were the better team on the stat sheet, but the scoreboard told a completely different story as the New York Rangers rolled to a 5-1 victory in front of a sold-out crowd at LoanDepot Park on Friday. Sam Reinhart scored the Panthers only goal, on the power play, with the ass...

So, we know what you’re wondering. When was the last time a Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman recorded a hat trick? Well, the answer is December 23, 2006 when Dan Boyle scored three times in the third period to help the Bolts take down the New York Rangers, 4-3. After almost two decades, a Lightning blueliner matched that feat as Darren Raddysh scored three times against the San Jose Sharks in Tampa Bay’s 7-3 win. It was Raddysh’s first career NHL hat trick and, coincidently enough, it happe...
