| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Derek Stepan  ActiveDerek Stepan has only one goal in his past 11 games with the New York Rangers. This is causing considerable grief for the Rangers and their fans. Stepan is a top-six forward for New York and needs to be more productive if New York has any chance of succeeding. Nov 30 |
| 2 | Brad Richards ActiveBrad Richards had an assist in the Rangers' 4-1 loss on Tuesday. Richards has recorded at least a point in even of his last eight games. He has nine goals and 24 points in 32 contests this season. He's been one of the Rangers' few bright spots in what has been an anemic season for their forwards. Dec 11 |
| 3 | Derick Brassard ActiveDerick Brassard missed Wednesday's practice, but he should be available on Thursday. Rangers coach Alain Vigneault was amused when asked if Brassard was dealing with a serious injury. "He fell on his posterior," Vigneault said, referencing an incident that occurred during Tuesday's game. "We gave him the day off. He should be all right tomorrow." Unless Brassard isn't on the ice again Thursday morning, we're not concerned about this particular ailment. Dec 11 |
| 4 | Brian Boyle ActiveBrian Boyle, at center throughout camp and in preseason play, likely will shift to wing for at least one of the Rangers' upcoming games. Rangers coach Alain Vigneault says he's liked what he's seen from Boyle at center but wants to also see what he looks like on the wing, at least for one or two preseason games. Boyle had a poor 2013 season, with a mere five points and a minus-13 rating. Vigneault will try to determine if Boyle's value can increase as a winger. Boyle was productive in 2010-11, with 21 goals and 35 points in 82 games. Sep 21 |
| 5 | Dominic Moore ActiveDominic Moore was a healthy scratch on Sunday. Just an FYI as Moore has only one assist and a minus-nine rating in 23 games and should not be on anyone's fantasy team. Dec 9 |
| LW | 1 | Chris Kreider ActiveChris Kreider recorded a hat trick to propel the Rangers to a 5-2 win over Vancouver on Saturday afternoon. He finished the contest with six shots, three hits and four penalty minutes as well. Kreider doubled his goal output to six on the year, with his first career hat trick, and he boosted his point total to 16 in 20 outings. Rick Nash assisted on two of Kreider's three markers and he added a tally of his own for a three-point contest. If the two of them can get hot then Kreider's fantasy value will increase dramatically. Nov 30 |
| 2 | Carl Hagelin ActiveLeft wing Carl Hagelin was benched for nearly nine minutes in the second period of the New York Rangers' 1-0 loss to Los Angeles Sunday night, essentially one shift after he was on the ice for the Kings’ goal at 1:23. Hagelin had a three-second shift, then was on the ice for 49 seconds before going back to the bench at 7:01. His next shift started at 16:00 and Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said Hagelin had nothing wrong physically. Nov 18 |
| 3 | Benoit Pouliot ActiveRangers left winger Benoit Pouliot scored at 18:07 of the third period to spoil the Washington Capitals' shutout in a 4-1 loss in New York Sunday night. It was Pouliot's third goal of the season. Dec 8 |
| 4 | Taylor Pyatt ActiveTaylor Pyatt returned from a concussion on Wednesday. Pyatt missed eight straight games due to the injury. He blocked a shot and logged 11:55 minutes in the Rangers' 5-2 victory over Florida. Nov 28 |
| RW | 1 | Rick Nash ActiveRick Nash will play against the Columbus Blue Jackets for the first time on Thursday. The Rangers and Blue Jackets faced off on Nov. 7, but Nash was sidelined due to a concussion. All the same, he's downplaying his first match against the team that drafted him. "I think it's overshadowed by what we're worried about right now," Nash said. "We're worried about winning games and getting two points and kind of ending this losing streak. It'll be fun, but I think I only know one guy, maybe two or three guys that I played with. It's a totally different team. More importantly we have to win games here. We're worried about the Rangers and not other things." The 15-16-1 Rangers are looking to end a three-game losing streak. Even still, they have a two-point edge over Columbus. Dec 11 |
| 2 | Ryan Callahan  SidelinedAwful news for the New York Rangers: Ryan Callahan has a Grade 2 MCL sprain that will sideline him for four-to-six weeks. This is the last thing the Rangers needed after a dispiriting 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. Callahan's had a rough season injury-wise, and this just makes matters worse. One wonders if this might have implications for the U.S. Olympic team, too. Dec 10 |
| 3 | Mats Zuccarello ActiveMats Zuccarello got a goal and an assist for the Rangers, but they were edged 4-3 by the Devils in overtime Saturday night. Zuccarello now has six points over his four-game points streak, with goals in three straight. He's clearly benefitting from Rangers coach Alain Vigneault's more free-wheeling system as he has 20 points on the season. Brad Richards and Chris Kreider picked up the other markers, while Ryan Callahan had two assists. Callahan, though, had a costly high-sticking double-minor in overtime that led to the Devils' game-winner. Dec 8 |
| 4 | Arron Asham ActiveArron Asham has been called up by the New York Rangers. He had no points and 14 penalty minutes in three games with the Blueshirts in early October. In 12 contests with AHL Hartford, Asham had two assists and 19 minutes in the sin bin. Dec 9 |
| 5 | Derek Dorsett ActiveDerek Dorsett (wrist) returned to action on Tuesday December 10. Dorsett was out for three straight games. He had a minus-one rating and logged 12:16 minutes of playing time in his return. Dec 11 |
| D | 1 | Ryan McDonagh ActiveRyan McDonagh scored a goal in the New York Rangers' 3-2 loss to Boston on Friday. Rick Nash accounted for the Rangers' other goal. Brad Richards, Carl Hagelin, Derick Brassard, and Ryan Callahan each registered an assist for New York. Nov 29 |
| 2 | Daniel Girardi ActiveNew Rangers coach Alain Vigneault likely will keep Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh together on defense. Vigneault also plans to use Marc Staal with Michael Del Zotto, and John Moore with Anton Stralman. "I like to have a shutdown pair and I like to have a pair that can play with our top line for offensive zone faceoffs," Vigneault said. "I like the way Michael steps into the attack, and playing with Marc Staal, who is such a good two-way player." Girardi has excellent fantasy value. History shows that he's likely to record 20-30 points in 2013-14 and he's always among the top players in hits and blocked shots. Sep 21 |
| 3 | Marc Staal SidelinedIt has been confirmed that Marc Staal is suffering from a concussion. If there's any silver lining it's that his doctors don't think it's as serious as the one that cost him nearly half of the 2011-12 campaign. That being said, concussions don't come with timetables, so we really have no way of knowing if he'll be sidelined for more or fewer games this time around. Dec 10 |
| 4 | Anton Stralman ActiveIn addition to a facial fracture, Anton Stralman also has a shoulder injury. Stralman missed the final two games of the Rangers' second-round series, but he would have been able to play with the facial fracture. It was the shoulder problems that ultimately forced him to the sidelines. He's expected to be fine for the 2013-14 campaign. In fact, he might have been able to return before the end of the series if the Rangers had avoided elimination. May 27 |
| 5 | Michael Del Zotto ActiveLook for Michael Del Zotto to draw back into the Rangers lineup on Sunday. Del Zotto was a healthy scratch Saturday and it was the third time in the last five games that he sat in the press box. But Marc Staal suffered a concussion on Saturday so Del Zotto will take his place in the lineup. Del Zotto has five points and a minus-9 rating in 22 games this year but does not deserve a spot in your fantasy lineup at this time. Dec 8 |
| 6 | John Moore ActiveJohn Moore was a healthy scratch for the first time in 2013-14. Moore has two goals and five points in 26 games with a minus-three rating and 10 penalty minutes. His spot in the lineup was taken by Michael Del Zotto who had been a healthy scratch in the previous two games. Dec 1 |
| 7 | Justin Falk ActiveJustin Falk will replace Michael Del Zotto on the Rangers blueline Saturday. Falk has been a healthy scratch in each of the Rangers last 11 games but will draw into the lineup for only the third time this season. He has no fantasy value. Nov 16 |
| 8 | Dylan McIlrath ActiveDylan McIlrath has been called up by the New York Rangers. McIlrath has seven points and 115 penalty minutes in 24 games this season. He always tends to get a ton of PIM and there's no reason to believe that will change in the NHL. Dec 11 |
| G | 1 | Henrik Lundqvist ActiveHenrik Lundqvist will start for the New York Rangers on Thursday. Lundqvist has allowed three or more goals in each of his last three starts. He's typically dominant, but he's been a disappointment in 2013-14 with a 2.60 GAA and .913 save percentage in 24 games this season. Dec 11 |
| 2 | Cameron Talbot ActiveCameron Talbot finally suffered through a tough outing Monday as the Rangers dropped a 5-2 decision to Winnipeg. Talbot earned his second consecutive start after a strong performance in a win on Saturday, but he allowed four goals on 29 shots en route to his second loss of the campaign. His record is now 6-2-0 while his GAA is 1.79 and his save percentage is .934. Dec 2 |
