Live From the Blue Seats is back as Rob and Producer JL talk big preseason topics on everyone’s mind. Does Braden Schneider have a future with the Rangers?
Before last night’s win over the Devils in their third preseason game, we got another round of Rangers cuts to their training camp roster. Forwards Dylan Roobroeck, Brody Lamb, Jacob Battaglia, and goalies Callum Tung and Spencer Martin–who cleared waivers–were all reassigned to Hartford as the next round of Rangers cuts.
The New York Rangers got going in their penultimate game of the preseason against the New Jersey Devils, and unlike against the New York Islanders, they did not get off to the best of starts. On Tuesday night, the Rangers were the better team for the first half of the game against the Islanders.
Despite a more Hartford heavy presence in the lineup, last night was one of the better performances by the Rangers in the preseason. Goals from Will Cuylle, Anton Blidh, and Scott Morrow in the 3rd period highlighted solid puck movement in the defensive zone and a more assertive presence in the offensive zone.
The NHL has had an interesting new millennium. It was a league sans a salary cap when the 2000s started… and then the owners locked the players out for an entire season.
The New York Rangers have several young players who are pushing for spots on the opening night roster. With a condensed training camp schedule that includes only four preseason games, players don’t have much time to make an impression.
It wasn’t all perfect for Scott Morrow on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden. But there was plenty to like about the 23-year-old defenseman, who helped the New York Rangers skate to their first preseason victory, a 4-3 shootout win over the New Jersey Devils.
The New York Rangers earned their first preseason victory by rallying with three goals in a 6:53 span of the third period and then scoring the only goal of the shootout to defeat the New Jersey Devils 4-3 at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night.
The New York Rangers got off to a hot start against the New York Islanders in their second preseason game of the year, but fell apart down the stretch.
With the start of the regular season right around the corner for the New York Rangers, the team will be done with a preseason on Friday night after they face off against the New York Islanders. On Thursday, the team will be playing their second game against the New Jersey Devils, and this time they won’t be seeing many of the regulars for them.
With the regular-season opener five days away, the New York Rangers reduced their training camp roster to 38 on Thursday, assigning five players to Hartford of the American Hockey League.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
The Rangers lines tonight are more of a mix of the expected NHL lineup and some prospects looking to make an impression. Notably, Alberts Smits and Scott Morrow will be paired as tonight’s top defense pair.
The New York Rangers are set to take the ice for their third preseason game of the year, hosting the New Jersey Devils at Madison Square Garden. This will be the second time the teams face off in an exhibition game this week, with the Rangers losing their preseason opener to the Devils 3-2 on Monday night.
As coach of the New York Rangers, Mike Sullivan has significant say in the makeup of the roster coming out of training camp. Final decisions aren’t his alone, of course, but he works in tandem with general manager Chris Drury, with the front office doing its best to give Sullivan the players he most wants.
Live From the Blue Seats is back tonight as the New York Rangers 2026-2027 roster continues to take shape. We know Urho Vaakanainen won’t be on the NHL roster this year, but how will the rest of the blue line shake out?
The New York Rangers are halfway through their preseason schedule already, playing one game apiece against the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders.
September has finally arrived, and that means Rangers hockey will be played this month! After a long, somewhat eventful summer, the Rangers look to try to course-correct this season and find their way back into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
As the New York Rangers move along in their condensed training camp, there are still a few questions that remain unanswered. The team has a few training camp battles that are ensuing, with a few spots available on the opening night roster.
Just two seasons ago, Urho Vaakanainen recorded a career-high 15 points in only 46 games with the New York Rangers, after they acquired the defenseman from the Anaheim Ducks in the December 2024 Jacob Trouba trade.
This season will mark the 11th for Mika Zibanejad as a New York Ranger. He is far and away the team’s longest-tenured player and has been through many different phases of the team over the years.
The New York Rangers are getting set for the start of the season, and they have less than a week to go before the puck drops. With a short preparation period in training camp and the preseason, there isn’t a ton of time for the Rangers to get ready.
The New York Rangers have added some key wingers and defensemen after a frustrating 2025-26 season, but they traded Vincent Trocheck, one of their best centers, to the Utah Mammoth.
A preseason roster battle for the New York Rangers is over before it began. After leaving the Rangers’ preseason contest on Monday with a lower-body injury, The Athletic reports that forward Adam Sykora will miss the next four to five months, according to Vince Z.
Much of the core of the New York Rangers’ 2023-24 roster that brought them within two wins of making the Stanley Cup Final is gone just two years later, and if they get off to a slow start in 2026-27, one insider believes more of those major changes could continue.
The New York Rangers had a disappointing 2025-26 season and finished with the worst record in the Eastern Conference, but they added some key players this offseason.
