A possibility Whale (nee Wolf Pack) center Kris Newbury could be inserted into the lineup to provide some jump to the anemic Rangers offense.

Here is what has been happening in the AHL and in the hockey world. Continue reading

Boston dominated play throughout the first two periods, and drew even when Johnny Boychuk beat Lundqvist through a crowd in front just over three minutes into the third. While the Rangers looked to hang on, the Bruins continued to roll four lines and pinned New York deep nearly every shift, before Gregory Campbell’s drive from the left circle struck Lundqvist in the mask.
