A number of prospects including Marek Hrivik, Danny Kristo and Connor Allen could crack the Rangers' opening-night roster.
The Edmonton Oilers won their fourth straight preseason game, defeating the New York Rangers 5-3 Tuesday night.
The message from the New York Rangers' bench might not be any different from in years past. The tone in which it is delivered most likely will be.
There's zero chance that Glen Sather's bully tactics will accelerate stalled talks with restricted free-agent center Derek Stepan.
Marc Staal scored and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 24 shots, but the Calgary Flames still beat the Rangers 4-1 Monday night.
There should be no dancing or partying as the New York Rangers continue with their preseason. A win over the Philadelphia Flyers with Alain Vigneault is nice, but there's nothing to crow about.
A federal appeals court dealt another blow to New Jersey's efforts to legalize sports gambling Tuesday, upholding a ruling that the state's betting law conflicts with federal law and shouldn't be implemented.
Dominic Moore recently spoke of the mutual delight shared by himself and Henrik Lundqvist to be back together after their experiences bonding as Rangers rookies back in 2005-06.
After putting his team through the paces, Vigneault spoke of his excitement to be to working with "elite" winger Rick Nash.
Derek Stepan does not have a leg to stand on, and let's be honest, the Rangers have held the power cards throughout the summer.
There isn't any reason why Rangers GM Glen Sather should play with fire and potentially expose Henrik Lundqvist to free agency in 2014.
Lundqvist would probably trade in all of his endorsement deals, give away closets full of designer suits and hand over the keys to his Maserati in an instant if it meant he could take one sip from Lord Stanley's Cup.
Talented prospect Danny Kristo will be given every opportunity to the crack the New York Rangers' opening night roster.
Next time the wheel comes around, Stepan is going to get paid. Big-time. His offensive game will flourish under new head coach Alain Vigneault.
