"Sweet move from Evan Bouchard -- but an even better save from Igor Shesterkin. Bouchard toe-dragged around a diving Carrick for a clean look from the high slot then Igor flashed the leather for a big glove save. Still scoreless with 5:57 to go in the first #NYR"

"#NYR ultimately came up short but there was plenty to like. One of the things that stuck out to me: The Edstrm-Carrick-Rempe line was getting shifts late in a game the Rangers trailed by one. Their highest TOI came in the third period. Cant recall that happening last season"

"Borgen finished the game without hinch logging his highest total of shifts (10) and time on ice (8:13) in the final period. He even spoke to reporters after. I didn't notice anything obvious happen to him but we'll see how this progresses. I also wonder if Morrow steps in regardless of Borgen's status. It's been a struggle for Vaakanainen who essentially got benched in the third period last night"

We've liked the way that the team has trended as far as building the game that we're trying to build and we'll see where it goes.

It appears all three Cs have made the team + other waiver-eligible players such as Matt Rempe and Matthew Robertson. - Signs are pointing to Conor Sheary (PTO) getting a contract and taking another forward spot but we'll wait on official word. - If Sheary signs and makes the team the Rangers will be left with XX players (including XX forwards) and have to cut at least one of Brett Berard"
