Ryan Lindgren’s full Rangers practice doesn’t change his injury standing
Ryan Lindgren participated fully in Wednesday's practice for the first time since sustaining an upper-body injury in a fight with Scott Mayfield during an exhibition match at the Garden on Sept. 22.

Rangers know they can’t keep getting away with turnovers: ‘No. 1 culprit’
The Rangers' 15 goals, which started 2-0-1, were the most through three games since they scored the most on a 3-0-0 road trip in the 1983-84 season. Not only that, but 11 of the club's goals have been scored at 5-on-5. But the Blueshirts are creating too many chances, especially too many Grade A chances. […]

Rangers’ Adam Edstrom got into first fight of hockey career
Adam Edstrom had never actually dropped the gloves and fought someone in his entire hockey career until Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. The 6-foot-7 rookie was caught in a scuffle in front of the net with less than two minutes of ice time logged in the Rangers' 6-5 overtime loss to Utah. From a […]
Rangers’ offensive firepower, defensive vulnerability emerging early
Both sides of the Rangers overall were on display through the first two games of the 2024-25 season. The team that defeated the lowly Penguins club also forced the up-and-coming Utah team to strengthen its defense. The Rangers scored 11 points in six periods, but gave up five in 60 minutes (four of them in […]
Rangers undone by questionable goalie interference penalties
The exact definition of goaltender interference in the NHL is still unclear. On Saturday night, not only did the Rangers find themselves in a bind in terms of officiating in their home opener, which they lost 6-5 in overtime, but the club also faced not one, but two cases of questionable goalkeeper interference. He charged […]
Rangers fall in overtime in high-scoring shootout loss to Utah
The Rangers were usually the pawns of chaos last season, but on Saturday night, it was the Utah Hockey Club that thrived in the chaos.
