Practice Notes: Del Zotto and Hank Return, Auld Speaks
Michael Del Zotto returned to practice today for the first time since February 12th when he was injured as Evgeni Malkin’s skate sliced through his jersey and lacerated his chest.

Auld In The Family
The Rangers finally made a move to shore up their suspect backup goaltending situation this morning when they claimed veteran Alex Auld off waivers from the Dallas Stars. After Stephen Valiquette imploded early on, the blueshirts have been using a backup by committee approach, shuttling youngsters Chad Johnson, Matt Zaba and Mika Wiikman between Hartford [...]

Canadiens 6 Rangers 0
The Rangers were shut out for the second straight game and Henrik Lundqvist was pulled after surrendering 4 goals as the Canadiens hammered the Blueshirts 6-0 in Montreal. John Tortorella doesn’t have much to say to the media after watching his team get embarrased by the Canadiens Saturday night. This team obviously has some problems [...]

Rangers 8 Lightning 2
All the Rangers coaches were hoping for following their impressive 6-2 win over the Canadiens on Sunday was a repeat of the effort the team gave during that victory.

Senators 2 Rangers 0
In yet another contest where the Rangers could not find their offense, Henrik Lundqvist once again showed why he is this club’s “most valuable player” and in doing so, had arguably his best performance of the season but it still wasn’t enough to lift an anemic offense past a shorthanded Ottawa team playing without it’s [...]

The Rangers improved their record to 7-1-2 over their last 10 games with a hard fought 5-2 victory over the Dallas Stars tonight at MSG. Sean Avery, who played one of his best games as a Ranger versus his former club, had 4 points and was involved all over the ice. The Rangers used big [...]

In a game that saw the Rangers blow a two goal lead late after dominating most of the matchup, Christopher Higgins rescued the Blueshirts with a huge tally with just over a minute left to give them a 3-2 win tonight at Madison Square Garden. The Rangers are now 6-1-2 in their last 9 games. [...]

Gilroy Sent to Minors
Earlier today, the Rangers made a surprising move when they sent rookie defenseman Matt Gilroy to the AHL. It was expected that Ilkka Heikkinen would be the odd man out with the return of Wade Redden from injury but the Blueshirts decided to keep the recent call up with the big club and send the [...]
