Despite his obstacles, Sean Avery has thrust himself back into the NHL spotlight -- and has made a significant impact on the Rangers' seven-game winning streak.
The last time the Rangers won eight games in a row? Way back during the 1974-75 season. They'll have a chance to reach the mark again Saturday.
Icelanders fans must have been optimistic at 2-2. And then THIS happened!
Brad Richards' go-ahead goal with 4:55 remaining snapped a tie and sent the New York Rangers to their seventh straight victory, 4-2 over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.
For most of the this current six game winning streak, the Rangers have played great hockey. The most intriguing part of the Rangers success is that they've been this good without their top defenseman Marc Staal.
Sean Avery also scored his first goal of the season for the Rangers (9-3-3), who haven't lost since they squandered a three-goal, third- period lead against Ottawa on Oct. 29. The Hurricanes (5-8-3) lost their fourth straight and for the fifth time in six games.
The Rangers' red-hot line of Marian Gaborik, Artem Anisimov and Derek Stepan inspired WFAN's own Sean Hartnett to coin the line's nickname of 'The GAS Line.'
Marian Gaborik scored twice, Derek Stepan had a goal and two assists, and the New York Rangers extended their winning streak to five with a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night.
It took 13 games, but the revamped Rangers finally look to hitting their stride. After their rough seven game road trip to start the season the Rangers closed out a six game homestand at 4-1-1. This could only be the beginning.
Derek Stepan and Marian Gaborik hooked up for the goal that iced New York's fourth straight win and helped the Rangers close out a six-game homestand with a 3-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night.
The 25-year-old Stralman, who has played in 212 NHL games, agreed to a one-year deal on Saturday worth $900,000.
The Rangers faced two difficult Western Conference opponents in the San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks, coming away with the full 4 points. Ryan Callahan, Ryan McDonagh and Martin Biron spoke about their recent play.
Instead of lacing skates, a Rangers great will be lacing up his sneakers on Sunday.
There are games where the Rangers are without their 'A' game, but still find a way to get two points. Whatever they are doing, right now it is working.
The Rangers have seen Anaheim everywhere but Anaheim: Sweden and now New York City!
