Alberts Smits switches to No. 12 with a chance to make Rangers history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When looking through the New York Rangers record books, 39 players have worn sweater No. 12. Alberts Smits, the club's freshly drafted fifth-overall pick and breakout preseason performer, decided to shed his temporary rookie camp No. 63 and claim No. 12 ahead of Tuesday's season opener in Boston. While every young player has their own personal motivations for choosing a sweater, one undeniable truth stands out above the rest. Smits has the talent and pedigree to become the greatest player to eve
Lafreniere is proving why he deserves first-line minutes in "last chance" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The New York Rangers have a pretty healthy list of position battles all over this roster. The defensive side of things paints newcomer Alberts Smits as trying to fit into the third pairing over Matthew Robertson. Matt Rempe is also trying to "force" his way onto the fourth line and not into the press box as a healthy scratch. Another position battle, and seemingly the hottest topic there is right now, is that of the winger who will ultimately skate opposite Pavel Dorofeyev on the first line. The

This is a really good thing to happen for the Rangers, as both Zibanejad and Mi

Read excerpt
The New York Rangers have a rough and tough player who could be on his last chance in 2026-27. Matt Rempe, who is an absolute legend with the Blueshirts fanbase, had a noticeable step backward last season, as injury plagued him from doing what he does best. This 84-game stretch in front of us is his last year under contract, and the emphasis is on youthful players with more skill than just banging bodies. Rempe has to bring it all every night just to stay relevant. Rempe has had an issue with hi
Sean Durzi is the Rangers most important offseason acquisition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The New York Rangers made a bunch of offseason moves to try to accelerate this rebuild. The forward group and defensive unit got a much-needed shot in the arm, and it will be a very interesting season ahead to see how well and how fast it fits together. One of the moves this offseason was bringing in Sean Durzi from a very competitive and fun team to watch last season, Utah. Durzi is a right-handed shot who is desperately needed behind Adam Fox on the right side. Here is why he will be the bigge
