Capitals-Rangers Preview
The New York Rangers have a short turnaround following a contentious game with a division rival. Some motivation might help them fight off any resulting fatigue.
In a game that starts early Sunday afternoon, the Eastern Conference-leading Rangers will host the Washington Capitals for the first time since last year's playoff defeat.
New York (35-13-5) moved six points ahead...

Credit Where It’s Due
The NHL universe is starting to acknowledge what Rangers fans have known for quite some time. The Rangers have the best goaltending in the NHL. TSN published goaltending rankings this week and the Rangers ranked first, ahead of the Boston Bruins tandem of Thomas and Rask.
With Henrik Lundqvist having a Vezina calibre year and Martin Biron posting career high numbers as well, the...

Morning Skate Notes: Biron, Eminger In; Messier Practices
Pat Leonard at the Daily News reports that Martin Biron will start in goal tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning....unless Lundqvist plays in both games this weekend, this move doesn't make sense to me. If they do split against Philly & Washington that means Biron gets two of the next three games. Get Hank in there against a suddenly hot Tampa team then against rival Flyers...

Blueshirts Looking for Offense
While the New York Rangers may have gotten screwed out of picking up at least a point against the New Jersey Devils in their 1-0 loss on Tuesday night, it still does not change the fact that this team is currently having trouble scoring goals.
Yes, the team put four in on Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia Flyers but before that and right now, the offense has been kept quiet...

Bryz Earns Shutout, Loses In Shootout.....Again
Game notes:
The last time the Flyers played a game that reached the shootout in a 0-0 tie was December 6, 2005 when the Flyers beat Calgary 1-0. It was just the second shootout the Flyers had ever participated in, and was their first-ever win.
Ilya Bryzgalov recorded his 25th career shutout tonight by reaching the end of overtime without allowing a goal. He is just...

A bizarre bounce played a key role in the New York Rangers falling to the New Jersey Devils last week.

Style Analysis: Martin Biron
Since the Rangers have gotten such stellar goaltending this season, I thought I’d do an in-depth evaluation on what makes these guys so good at their craft. I am going to break each of the Rangers’ tender’s styles down into four categories: Stance, Movement/Crease depth, Equipment, Puck playing ability and Exploitable weaknesses. First up is Marty Biron, and Hank will follow...

Rangers-Sabres Preview
An unfortunate bounce contributed to a loss for the Eastern Conference-leading New York Rangers in their return from the All-Star break.
Perhaps having All-Star goaltender Henrik Lundqvist back in net can spark a bounce-back performance.
Lundqvist is scheduled to start for the first time since the break Wednesday night when the Rangers try to disrupt the Buffalo Sabres' momentum...

After a week layoff due to the all-star break, the Rangers drew a rivalry game right out of the gate, facing the Devils for the second time this season. There would be no All – Star break hangover in this one, as the two...

Chad Johnson Returned To AHL, Hagelin To Play In Rookie Game
As expected, goaltender Chad Johnson was returned to the AHL immediately following last night’s 3-0 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. Johnson was called up to serve as the backup to Henrik Lundqvist. Martin Biron was supposed to start the game, but was scratched with the flu. With no games for the next week, it is likely that Biron will be healthy enough for action when games...
