Darren Dreger of TSN is reporting that the New York Rangers have claimed goaltender Alex Auld off of re-entry waivers from the Dallas Stars. Auld, 29, will become current starting netminder Henrik Lundqvist's back-up, allowing Chad Johnson and Matt Zaba to remain with the Wolf Pack (AHL) and compete at that level on a nightly basis. Which is probably the best thing for their development right now. In ...

The defending gold medal champions got off on the right foot last night when Team Sweden defeated Team Germany by the score of 2-0. In what was a defensive contest for the most part, New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist worked his way to a shutout in the first game of the tournament. Heading into the game, I mentioned that I was not sure if the Swedes would be ...

New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist will lead Team Sweden into the Olympics this afternoon when they take on Team Germany at Canada Hockey Place. The Swedish, as I have stated, are one of the more well rounded clubs in this tournament and I am looking forward to watching them live today. While I am not expecting a total blowout like we saw on Tuesday in the Canada game and ...

Yesterday the buzz around the Internet was that New York Rangers star Marian Gaborik would miss the first two games for Team Slovakia in the Olympics due to a laceration of the thigh suffered in practice a couple of weeks ago. The tournament opens up for Team Slovakia tonight when they face the Czech Republic over at Canada Place. Gaborik is very doubtful for that game, as he is ...

Game One of the 2010 Olympic Hockey Tournament may not have the same meaning as a medal round tilt would. But nonetheless, the United States will be looking to kick off their run at the gold in the correct way with a win over Switzerland this afternoon in Vancouver. The tournament has been greatly hyped since August, when the team training camps were held. Expectations are especially high from a U.S. ...

Apparently the laceration to the thigháthat Marian Gaborik suffered last week in practice healed as planned,ásince Bob McKenzie of TSN is reporting on Twitter that the Rangers' leading scorer is listed on Team Slovakia's official Olympic Roster, which is due tomorrow at 10 am. Along with Gaborik on the roster was Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa, who was questionable heading into Vancouver after taking a big hit in an NHL game ...

At one point in the first period last night in Pittsburgh, it seemed as if this team was dropping like flies—as Marian Gaborik was huffing and puffing in pain on the bench, Michael Del Zotto left the game with a giant gash under his left rib, and Ryan Callahan rocking back and forth after hurting his hand/wrist. Gaborik and Del Zotto would not return to the game, but Callahan ...

  Despite losing key players in Michael Del Zotto and Marian Gaborik after the first period, the New York Rangers put up one of their better efforts in recent memory tonight against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Mellon Arena. The Rangers always seem to play a spirited match against the Pens, but sometimes, that is not the case when they are on the road. Tonight was an exception, as the team was relentless ...

As I reported in the pregame post, Darren Dreger of TSN has confirmed on Twitter that the New York Rangers have acquired 34-year-old enforcer Jody Shelley from the Sharks just before today's Olympic Roster Freeze. The Sharks receive a conditional sixth round draft pick in 2011, which changes to a fifth round pick if the Blueshirts choose to re-sign the bruiser come July. Shelley is an unrestricted free agent ...

The New York Rangers, after coming off of a depressing loss to the Nashville Predators on Wednesday night, will clash with the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Igloo tonight. Right now, the Penguins are probably one of the last teams in the league the Rangers want to be facing in the midst of their slump, but then again, a win over the defending Cup Champions would certainly be a confidence booster. ...
