| C | 1 | Mika Zibanejad  ActiveMika Zibanejad scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Zibanejad's goal at the 7:16 mark of the third period cut the Blue Jackets' lead to 3-2 at the time, but New York was never able to tie it up. The Rangers forward finished the game with a minus-2 rating and team-high five shots on goal in 20:37 of ice time. The 24-year-old has beed red-hot of late, as he's scored five goals in his last three games. He's also accumulated nine points during his five-game point streak. Zibanejad has 25 goals and 43 points in 63 games this season. Kevin Hayes (SHG) and Chris Kreider (PPG) also found the back of the net for the Rangers on Tuesday night. Mar 20 |
| 2 | Kevin Hayes ActiveKevin Hayes scored a power play goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the New York Islanders. Brady Skjei's shot bounced off the back boards before bouncing to Hayes, who buried it to give his team a 1-0 lead at the time. Unfortunately for the Rangers, they allowed two goals in the second frame and were never able to recover. Hayes has now scored a goal in three consecutive games. He's also riding a five-game point streak and he's accumulated seven points in his last seven contests. Apr 5 |
| 3 | David Desharnais ActiveDavid Desharnais will be a healthy scratch in Thursday's game against the New York Islanders. Desharnais has six goals and 28 points in 71 games this season. He hasn't scored a goal since February 5th. The pending unrestricted free agent might be entering his final few days in the NHL. Apr 5 |
| 4 | Ryan Spooner ActiveRyan Spooner found the back of the net in a 3-2 loss to Washington on Wednesday. That goal was his 40th point in 54 games this season. This is the second time in his career that he's reached the 40-point milestone with the first coming in 2015-2016. He's been particularly effective since being acquired by the Rangers as he has three goals and 15 points in 15 games with New York. Mar 29 |
| 5 | Peter Holland ActivePeter Holland will be a healthy scratch in Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. This isn't surprising news considering he had also been scratched in each of New York's previous four games. He has one goal, three assists and a minus-9 rating in 20 games this season. Mar 22 |
| 6 | Vinni Lettieri ActiveVinni Lettieri has been summoned by the Rangers. Lettieri has 14 goals and 23 points in 37 AHL games this season. With New York, he's scored a goal and five points in 16 contests. Feb 22 |
| LW | 1 | Chris Kreider ActiveChris Kreider will play for Team U.S.A. in the upcoming IHF World Championships. Kreider has played for the U.S. twice before in this tournament and has also represented his country in the World Junior Hockey Championships. After missing much of the season with a blood cot in his rib area, Kreider obviously wants a little more competitive hockey under his belt before he hangs up his skates for the off-season. Apr 7 |
| 2 | Vladislav Namestnikov ActiveVladislav Namestnikov has had an interesting hockey background. He was born in Russia but moved to North America at the age of eight months as his dad tried to make it as an NHLer. He played 43 games with Vancouver and the Islanders but returned to Russia when Vladislav was nine. Vladislav also had a couple of uncles in the NHL including Slava Kozlov and Ivan Novoseltsev. With all that hockey around him, it was his mom who pushed him into the game. Namestnikov was a first round pick of the Lightning in 2011 and was dealt a week ago to the Rangers. He has 21 goals and 46 points in 65 games this season. Mar 5 |
| 3 | Jimmy Vesey ActiveJimmy Vesey is on a three-game point streak. Vesey kept that going by registering an assist in a 3-2 loss to Washington Wednesday night. He has 17 goals and 27 points in 74 contests in 2017-18. That matches his rookie point total. Mar 29 |
| 4 | Cody McLeod  SidelinedCody McLeod is dealing with an abdominal strain. McLeod won't play on Thursday as a result. His status for the Rangers' season finale on Saturday isn't known yet. Apr 4 |
| 5 | Ryan Gropp ActiveNew York has signed Ryan Gropp to an entry-level contract. He has 18 goals and 32 points in 32 games with Seattle of the WHL this campaign. He was a second-round pick (41st overall) in the 2015 NHL Draft. Dec 31 |
| 6 | Matt Beleskey ActiveMatt Beleskey will play in this afternoon's regular-season finale against the Philadelphia Flyers. It'll be his first game since the end of November. Steven Fogarty will also dress while Peter Holland, Paul Carey and David Desharnais will serve as the healthy scratches. Tony DeAngelo (ankle), Kevin Shattenkirk (knee), Steven Kampfer (hand), Jesper Fast (groin) and Cody McLeod (abdomen) will also miss the game. Apr 7 |
| RW | 1 | Mats Zuccarello SidelinedMats Zuccarello had a small procedure done on his knee following the completion of the NHL regular season schedule. It doesn't sound like the problem was serious and Zuccarello will be able to train in 3-4 weeks. He will be ready to go once the NHL season starts. Of course, the question is, will he still be in NYC? There have been many rumors Zuccarello will be moved this off-season to maximize the Ranger rebuild. Stay tuned. Apr 14 |
| 2 | Pavel Buchnevich ActivePavel Buchnevich was dropped from the first line with Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider Saturday. Buchnevich played 17:32 Saturday and was on a line with Jimmy Vesey and Vladislav Namestnikov. He had one shot on goal. "It’s the NHL, it’s the best league. Every player goes through, in a season, some ups and downs," coach Alain Vigneault said before the game. "But we think Butchie has a high skill level and we’re working with him to put it all together." He has 14 goals and 36 points in 61 games this season and is worth taking late in deeper pools next season. Mar 11 |
| 3 | Jesper Fast SidelinedJesper Fast (groin) will likely miss the rest of the regular season. Coach Alain Vigneault said Fast's groin injury could keep him out of the final three games of the season. "I know he's going to try real hard to come back," Vigneault said, "but I would not count on it." Apr 2 |
| D | 1 | Kevin Shattenkirk ActiveKevin Shattenkirk, who hasn't played since Jan. 18 due to a knee injury, considered playing in the Worlds, but ultimately decided against it. Shattenkirk decided it would be better for his knee to give it more rest. Had the Rangers made the playoffs though, he would have pushed himself to play even if his knee still isn't 100%. Apr 10 |
| 2 | Brady Skjei ActiveBrady Skjei was on the ice for three even strength goals in a 4-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Skjei and Marc Staal combined for a minus-6 rating tonight and were severely outplayed by the Leafs from the moment the puck was dropped. Skjei has 16 points in 51 games this season with a minus-6 rating. He has no fantasy value but is someone to monitor heading into next season. Feb 1 |
| 3 | Tony DeAngelo ActiveTony DeAngelo (ankle) recently resumed skating. The Rangers' season is over of course, but DeAngelo's injury should be fully behind him by the time training camp starts. He had eight assists in 32 games with the Rangers. Apr 10 |
| 4 | Marc Staal ActiveMarc Staal (whiplash) will rejoin the Rangers on Thursday. It will be Staal's first game since Feb. 3. He has a goal and seven points in 50 games this season. Feb 21 |
| 5 | Ryan Sproul ActiveRyan Sproul has been called up by the New York Rangers. Sproul has two assists in four games with the Blueshirts this year. He also has 10 goals and 25 points in 44 games with Hartford of the AHL. Tony DeAngelo had an MRI Tuesday morning and the team is awaiting the results. Mar 13 |
| 6 | John Gilmour ActiveJohn Gilmour posted a goal just 1:22 into overtime in Wednesday's victory in Vancouver. Gilmour picked up a plus-1 rating with a team-high five shots on goal across 21:35 of ice time. He posted six goals and 20 assists over 44 AHL games this season, showing off some offensive skill. Gilmour is worth a look in the very deepest of fantasy pools if you need help along the blue line. Mar 1 |
| 7 | Steven Kampfer  I.L.Steven Kampfer will be out for four-to-six weeks because of a fractured hand. Kampfer has one assist in 22 appearances with the Rangers this season. New York played without fellow blueliners Ryan McDonagh, Marc Staal and Kevin Shattenkirk on Sunday. The team has brought up Ryan Sproul from the minors as another potential fill-in. Feb 12 |
| 8 | Rob O'Gara ActiveRob O'Gara is happy to get a fresh start with the New York Rangers. O'Gara is with the Rangers after the Boston Bruins traded him on Tuesday. He only got into 11 games over two seasons with Boston as the rest of his time was spent in the minors. Now with the Rangers, he's set to play on a pairing with John Gilmour on Thursday and if he does well enough, he might be able to stick with the club. "It’s no secret that there is [an opportunity] and that there’s time here to prove myself," O’Gara said. "If I can step in and play my game, I think I can get comfortable playing some NHL games and I think it’ll help me a lot moving forward, hopefully solidifying myself in the organization. It’s a clean slate." Feb 22 |
| 9 | Neal Pionk ActiveNeal Pionk continues to play very well for the Rangers. Although he did not register a point in Saturday night's 2-1 win over Carolina, in 21:53 of ice time Pionk,had a game-high five hits, three blocked shots, three shots on goal and was plus one. Pionk has registered 14 points in 25 games so far this season. Apr 1 |
| G | 1 | Henrik Lundqvist ActiveThe Rangers are looking for their next head coach to be someone who will be able to develop their young players. The Rangers have made some efforts to rebuild and it will be the next bench bosses job to make the most out of the young talent they have and will acquire through that process. "We’re looking for someone who can develop players and develop a team," executive chairman Jim Dolan said. "We want someone who is going to be able to work with young players — all of our players, really — so that they and we improve from one stage of the season to the next and we’re better at the end of the year than at the beginning." Dolan added that he felt former head coach Alain Vigneault was good for a developed team. It seems though that the Rangers want something different going forward and given the roster they're likely to dress, that makes sense. Apr 19 |
| 2 | Ondrej Pavelec ActiveOndrej Pavelec allowed two goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the New York Islanders. Pavelec and the Rangers went into the first intermission with a 1-0 lead, but they allowed the Islanders to score a pair of goals in the second frame. Pavelec has now a 4-9-1 record with a 3.05 goals-against-average and a .910 save percentage this season. He's dropped each of his last two games. The pending unrestricted free agent will likely be looking for a backup job with a new team this off-season. Apr 5 |
