By: Chris Boyle Follow @ChrisBoyle33 Oscar Lindberg is a Vegas Golden Knight. While the Rangers lost a player who showed plenty of promise, they didn’t see enough of Lindberg in a role where they could truly discover his offensive potential. During his time with the Blueshirts, Lindberg showed bursts of creativity when he was on […]
The NHL Expansion Draft probably could have worked out worse for the Rangers, who were always going to lose one of four players since the guidelines were set – Oscar Lindberg, Jesper Fast, Michael Grabner or Antti Raanta. The Vegas Golden Knights chose the 25-year-old Lindberg Wednesday as they submitted their first roster as an […]
It’s no secret that when the Rangers have had success this season, it’s been built on a four-line attack. It’s no different now, as they carry a quickly-built two-game winning streak into Thursday’s game against Carolina after beginning a four-game trip with consecutive-night victories over Tampa Bay and Florida. While Tanner Glass has gotten – […]
RANGERS 5, BLUE JACKETS 4 Maybe the Rangers Expeditionary Force that invaded Nationwide Arena in Columbus on Saturday night was in the mood for revenge against John Tortorella’s once-unbeatable horde. Then again, maybe not. Right now, the reasons matter not but the result does as the New Yorkers enjoy their five-day league-imposed sabbatical. Primary in […]
By: David Kolb BOSTON BRUINS (3-3-0) at NEW YORK RANGERS (4-2-0) HOBBLING BLUESHIRTS The Rangers are getting their first taste of the injury bug this season, as Chris Kreider is sidelined with neck spasms and Pavel Buchnevich is listed as day-to-day with a back injury. This means Oscar Lindberg will take the ice, most likely centering […]

The surgery was performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly at Hospital for Special Surgery. The expected recovery time is six months. Lindberg, 24, skated in 68 games with the Rangers in 2015-16, […]
Assessing a goal-scorer by the amount of goals scored seems like an intuitive way to evaluate. Players who score goals seem more valuable than players who don’t. This is evident when we view large samples because the players who put themselves in the best positions to succeed the most will produce the most goals. Where […]
It has been 10 games since the Rangers deadline acquisition of Eric Staal and we are starting to get an idea of where he is going to fit in for the Rangers as they make their playoff run. While Staal has only tallied three points (one goal, two assists) in his first 10 games with New […]
Expectations define fan analysis. When you have the success the Rangers have had over the last three seasons, the goal is Stanley Cup or bust. So, a 98-point pace at the All-Star break is not what the fan base is willing to accept, even though it is actually a two point improvement on their Stanley […]
It is incredible to think that the Rangers are 8-2-2 and sit in first place in the Metropolitan division with 18 points despite their top two scorers from last season having scored a combined two goals.
