Rangers Regaining Defensive Form In Latest Stretch
December 17, 2023 by Brendan Azoff
At the beginning of the 2023-24 season, the New York Rangers embraced new head coach Peter Laviolette’s defensive structure and ran with it. In their first five wins, the Blueshirts held their opponents to one or fewer goals, and held their opponents to three or fewer goals in their first 14 wins.
The recipe for success was simple: play a structured, defensive-style game and rely on your special teams and offensive talent to capitalize on the opportunities presented during the game. It worked, propelling the Rangers to the top of the league standings, but that defensive structure evaded them as injuries started to hit and play loosened.
Rangers Can Improve By Trading for Blues’ Jordan Kyrou
December 17, 2023 by Jesse Courville-Lynch
The New York Rangers have been one of the best teams in the NHL during the 2023-24 season and continue to dominate at both ends of the ice and on the scoreboard. While they have slowed down in recent games, they have dealt with injury issues and adversity quite well this season when they needed to and continue to be a Stanley Cup favorite. This season, the Rangers will be buying near the trade to improve their roster to go all-in for a Stanley Cup. One player who could become a trade piece following some drama with his current team is forward Jordan Kyrou.
Today in Hockey History: Dec. 17

This date in National Hockey League history was dominated by some guy in Edmonton who wore No. 99. Also, there were plenty of memories back in the day of black and white highlight reels. Dec. 17 was also a good day for offensive defensemen and taking a penalty shot. Hop into our daily time machine and buckle up for another trip through the decades.
