The New York Rangers were 5-1 winners over the Florida Panthers in the 2026 NHL Winter Classic on Friday night, and center Mika Zibanejad was the obvious player of the game.
The New York Rangers marched into loanDepot park in Miami, Florida ready to play as they beat the Florida Panthers 5-1, and Mika Zibanejad had the first hat trick in Winter Classic history.
Mika Zibanejad had a hat trick, Artemi Panarin scored twice and the Rangers beat the Panthers 5-1 on Friday night in the Winter Classic -- the first outdoor game played in Florida.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
Welcome to this edition of NHL rumours here are Last Word On Hockey. In this edition, the chatter focuses on Rangers blueliner Adam Fox and his role, or lack thereof, on Team USA’s Olympic roster.
At just 8 goals and 20 points through 42 games this season, there is no excusing the offensive output from Alexis Lafreniere. He is far from the only player on the New York Rangers that can’t score, but he deserves equal blame for the situation the Rangers are in.
Perhaps this time when the New York Rangers try once again to get their season back on track, they’ll have history on their side. The Rangers take a perfect 5-0-0 all-time outdoor record into their clash Friday against the Florida Panthers in the 2026 NHL Winter Classic at loanDepot Park in Miami.
The New York Rangers may look to the trade market for offensive help as they navigate an underwhelming 2025–26 season. New York is averaging just 2.55 goals per game, the lowest mark in the Eastern Conference, and currently sits outside the playoff picture.
Team USA has announced its roster for the 2026 Olympics, and New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox did not make the team. Fox confirmed he spoke with Team USA GM Bill Guerin earlier in the week and was told he did not make the team.
The United States men's Olympic hockey roster will be announced on Friday, but we already have some idea as to who is going to be on it. We also know at least one player that will not be on it.
The New York Rangers are having a disappointing season with a 19-18-5 record, and many of their key players are either not playing up to their potential or have missed extended time with injuries.
The Rangers have recalled forwards Brett Berard, Anton Blidh, and Justin Dowling from AHL Hartford, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports. In corresponding moves, the team placed left winger Conor Sheary on long-term injured reserve and returned winger Brennan Othmann to Hartford.
Vince Z Mercogliano of The Athletic: (mailbag) Artemi Panarin holds a no-movement clause, so he has a lot to say if the New York Rangers look to move him at the trade deadline.
A couple of Blueshirts have been forced to pack it in before 2025 came to a close. Prior to the third period of Wednesday afternoon’s matchup between the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals, the Rangers announced that forwards Conor Sheary and Noah Laba wouldn’t return for the rest of the game.

It’s time for another edition of the NHL rumours. In this edition, the focus will be on the New York Rangers. The Blueshirts are still in the Stanley Cup Playoff hunt, despite a largely inconsistent season.
For the New York Rangers, 2025 has been a mostly dreadful year. The Blueshirts have endured a dismantling of the core, missing the playoffs, and another head coaching change.
The idea of an Artemi Panarin trade will always spark debate in New York, but the reality of what such a move would look like is far more complicated — and far less lucrative — than fans might expect.
The idea of the New York Rangers trading Vincent Trocheck might sound far-fetched at first glance, but recent analysis suggests that if the team ever went down that road, the return could be significant — potentially even greater than what they’d get for Artemi Panarin.
Vincent Trocheck scored twice during New York's five-goal third period, fueling the visiting Rangers to a 7-3 victory over the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.
