Joe Whitney’s goal with under five minutes to play gave the Albany Devils a 4-3 win sending the Connecticut Whale to a season high fifth game loss in a row and put their playoff hopes now hang by a thread.

The Whale (35-31-6-3) slipped to tenth in the Eastern Conference as the Manchester Monarchs and Hershey Bears both won and the Norfolk Admirals lost leaving all four teams tied with 79 points. For the New York Rangers’ AHL affiliates to make the playoffs, they must win their game Saturday night in Portland against the Pirates and then scoreboard watch and hope that the other three teams all lose their games. Needless to say, it’s a long shot. Continue reading

PHILADELPHIA, PA - The New York Rangers drive to the playoffs hit a speed bump on I-95 Tuesday night as they were defeated by the Flyers in Philadelphia 4-2.

Steve Mason stopped 38 of the Rangers 40 shots as New York dominated play after the first period. However, a lackluster start to the game put them in a hole they were never quite able to dig out from, thanks mostly to the Flyers recently acquired netminder. Continue reading
