After allowing 3 straight goals to the Devils, all on the power play, the Rangers managed to find a way to come back and score three straight goals of their own, winning on a Kevin Klein goal in overtime.
Rick Nash scored the tying goal late in the third, continuing his dominance to the start of the season. He now has 8 goals on the year, which is the most in the NHL, with a total of 9 points for the year.
Lundqvist was pretty sharp again tonight, and did not allow an even strength goal. Lundqvist made 28 saves as well as some crucial stops late in the third period and in overtime. Read the rest of this entry

Now this is the New York Rangers team that we were all waiting for.
The Rangers put on a fantastic performance in their best game of the year, as well as recording their second consecutive win, in what Henrik Lundqvist called “the most complete game of the year.”
The Rangers handed the Sharks their first loss in regulation this season, as well as shutting them out, despite San Jose having 33 shots on net.

In a huge game on home ice, the Rangers managed to comeback late and end their short losing streak with a win against the Hurricanes in the shootout.
Derick Brassard scored late in the third to tie the game at 1, which was his third goal of the season. It was also the third straight game in which he scored a goal. Zuccarello and Girardi both picked up assists, which was the first point of the season for the two of them.
Rick Nash’s four game goal streak ended, but he did come up clutch in the shootout, as he was the only player to score. Read the rest of this entry

After a loss to Toronto, the Rangers were again defeated at home by their rivals, the Islanders, by a score of 6-3, mainly due to a short span in the third period where the Rangers’ defense just fell apart.
Rick Nash stayed hot, scoring another 2 goals to bring his total to 6 in just four games. However, there was just a handful of players that had good efforts tonight.
The Rangers came out on fire, and the game started out extremely fast and physical. The Rangers drew a penalty less than a minute into the game after Kevin Klein was hit knee to knee. Read the rest of this entry

Just a day after losing by three to the Blue Jackets, the Rangers dropped their home opener by a score of 6-3 in a pretty ugly game for the Blueshirts.
Before the game, Mats Zuccarello was a last minute scratch. Zuccarello did injure his shoulder in last night’s game against the Blue Jackets. He was removed from tonight’s lineup after skating in warmups, and is listed as day to day with an undisclosed injury, but it is likely his shoulder.
This meant Kevin Hayes would make his Rangers debut, and the lines were changed up as a result. Kevin Hayes finished with -2 rating, and had a great scoring opportunity stopped by the pad of Leafs’ goalie James Reimer. Hayes was pretty quiet, but we’ll have to see more of him before making a decision on his play. Read the rest of this entry
