The Rangers’ primary focus heading into tonight’s pivotal matchup with the Buffalo Sabres has to be about simply wrapping up two points and inching closer and closer to a playoff spot. But one element that should make the game just a little bit more interesting (aside from the already-established history between the two clubs) is the chance that the two teams could potentially meet in the playoffs, perhaps even as ...

The Rangers take the ice against the Sabres in Buffalo tonight. With 96 points Buffalo is the most talented team they’ve played in a little while so it will be an important game in the sense that we get to see if the recent success of the team, they’re 5-0-1 in their last six games, is a product of them finally playing better or just playing weaker opponents.

It will be his 13th straight start and 21st game started out of 22. Here is Larry Brooks with the details : Asked if he had considered using Auld following last night’s ...

Former Rangers defenseman Marek Malik has always been an confusing player to me. On one hand he’s huge, but he doesn’t always use his size to his advantage. He’s also scored one of the best goals I’ve ever seen and recently he’s scored one of the worst goals I’ve ever seen. Here is the best: Here is the worst: Being as Malik is more likely to score a ...

They’ve done it behind the strong goaltending of Henrik Lundvist and by averaging four goals per game over the past five games. Here is a breakdown of the main contributors over the last five games: Michael Del Zotto: one goal, five assists, +2 rating Marian Gaborik : three goals, two assists, +2 rating Brandon Dubinsky: three ...
