It seems that the trade rumors may have rattled the Rangers (38-17-6), looking flat at times and dropping their first game to the Philadelphia Flyers (27-25-11), ending their 10 game point streak as well as their four game win streak.
The Rangers were looking to set a new franchise record for wins in the month of February, but fell a win short, finishing the month with a 10-2-2 record. The Islanders also lost to the Hurricanes today, so the Rangers remain just two points behind the Isles with three games in hand. Read the rest of this entry

The Rangers are looking to finish a season series sweep against the Flyers, having already won the first three game this season.

The Rangers came back from a 3-1 deficit on Tuesday against the Coyotes, eventually winning 4-3 to extend their win streak to four games, and giving the Blueshirts points in 10 consecutive games (8-0-2). The Rangers are 10-1-2 in the month of February, largely without star goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.
The Rangers are 27-6-2 since December 8th, an incredible streak of success that propelled them into first place in the Metropolitan Division ahead of the New York Islanders. Earlier in the season, the Rangers trailed the Islanders by 14 points, but have closed that gap, and are now second in the Eastern Conference. Read the rest of this entry

After a rough first period, the Rangers (38-16-6) managed to find a way to crawl back into the game, scoring three times to take down the Arizona Coyotes (20-35-7), extending their point streak to 10 games (8-0-2), and giving the team yet another four game win streak.
With the win, the Rangers tied the Islanders with 82 points, but since they have two games in hand, took sole possession of first place for the first time this season. The last time that the Rangers were in first place was following the first game of the season, where they were tied with three other teams. Read the rest of this entry

One of those seven losses came at the hands of the Rangers, with New York coming away with a big 5-1 win in Arizona. Rick Nash scored the game winner early in the third period, and Kevin Hayes scored his first ever shorthanded goal, which made it three straight games that he scored in. Read the rest of this entry
