Knicks 113, Pistons 86: With Carmelo Anthony back in the lineup, the Knicks were able to snap a three-game losing streak. Anthony had 25 points and 6 assists (!!) in the win, New York's second in its last eleven games. Luckily, they were playing Detroit, one of the teams with a more dismal record (4-19) than the Knicks (8-13). more ›

GOAL! The rumors were (sort of) true! Hockey is really coming to Brooklyn...for at least one game. Yup, despite concerns that the Barclays Center was too small for regulation hockey, the much-maligned Atlantic Yards stadium has announced that on October 2, 2012 the Islanders are going to play the New Jersey Devils. In Brooklyn! more ›

Nuggets 119, Knicks 114 (2 OT): When Mike D'Antoni and Knicks fans looked at the Denver Nuggets on the floor of Madison Square Garden, they saw what could have been — a young team thriving behind players that were in New York just a season ago. Instead, the team that graces The Garden is 6-10 and struggling under the bloated contract and horrid shooting of Carmelo Anthony. Former Knicks Danilo Gallinari (37 points) and Al Harrington (24 points) both lit up their former team. As for Carmelo? He had a double double (25 points, 10 rebounds), but was just 10 of 30 in field goal attempts. Oh, what could have been. more ›

Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves for the shutout as the Rangers took care of the Predators, 3-0. The victors got one goal in each period. Dan Girardi scored in the first and then John Mitchell and Ryan Callahan (empty-netter) followed suit. The Rangers, who had lost two of three, including one to the lowly Canadiens, looked much sharper Garden on Tuesday. They have Pittsburgh on Thursday before a trip to the defending champion Bruins on Saturday. more ›

Carmelo Anthony was woeful from the field, shooting 9-for-27 and the Knicks had a terrible fourth quarter as they fell to Orlando 102-93. New York also didn't play much defense, allowing Orlando to shoot over 50% from the field. The loss drops New York to 6-7 which is still good enough for 2nd place in the Atlantic Division. more ›

When they visited Phoenix, the Rangers won on a last-second goal. On Tuesday at the Garden, they needed a shootout for a 2-1 win over the Coyotes. Derek Stepan scored in the sixth round, and Henrik Lundqvist then stopped Shane Doan (he of the last-minute hat trick against the Islanders) to finish the game. Ruslan Fedotenko scored the first goal of the game early in the third period, but the Rangers gave the lead back and had to win after overtime was over. They have their best start since their Stanley Cup season in 1994 and have a league-best 58 points. more ›

Amare Stoudemire had 22 points to lead everyone, and Mike Bibby had 16 points off the bench. more ›

Carmelo Anthony led the way with 23 points, and he had help from Landry Fields (21) and Tyson Chandler (22 points and seven rebounds). The Knicks salvaged the final game of their three-game trip on the West Coast. They will they will not travel farther than San Antonio in the rest of this lockout shortened season. Stoudemire is day to day, but given his slow start, the team may not miss him as much as people think. more ›

With a 99-82 loss in Los Angeles, the Knicks have now dropped nine straight games to the Lakers. Kobe Bryant, who said he enjoys his rivalry with Carmelo Anthony because he always wins, had 28 points but didn't key the fourth-quarter surge that blew the game open. Pau Gasol had 16 points and 10 rebounds. Anthony had 27 as he couldn't prevent the Knicks from falling to 1-2. Amar'e Stoudemire had 14 points. "The Lakers were good, and we're awful," Mike D'Antoni said. That's the second straight game the head coach has used that adjective. The Knicks play the Kings next. more ›

For the past 10 games, the Rangers have performed well on the power play. But they didn't earn a single man advantage in Thursday night's 4-1 loss to the Blues. Their offense could have used the help. The Rangers fell behind, 2-0 , but a second-period goal by Michael Del Zotto helped keep them close. But a soft goal knocked into the net (over Henrik Lundqvist's shoulders) by Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi ended any suspense in the early stages of the third period. The Blues added an empty-netter for good measure. The loss creates a rare two-game losing streak for the Rangers. more ›

For the first time in two seasons, the Rangers scored two short-handed in goals in one game. Carl Hagelin and Ryan Callahan each scored while the Sabres were on a power play in a 4-1 win over the the Sabres.

Wild 4, Devils 2: It was not a good night for Martin Brodeur as the Devils netminder didn't last past the first period in Friday night's game.

While New Jersey would add another goal, they were never able to overcome the three-goal flurry. more ›

Henrik Lundqvist will never be mistaken for Billy Smith. But, every goalie has their boiling point and Joe Vitale's antics in front of Lundqvist caused Henrik to reach his. Lundqvist took his stick and slashed at Vitale and also threw a punch. His efforts earned him a two-minute minor, one of eleven penalties called in the first period. more ›

It was easy to see that the Flyers and Rangers do not like each other. Just four seconds into the game, the gloves came off and they did so again later in the first period. But things settled down after that and New York came away with a 2-0 victory. The game had plenty of subplots, but one that didn't materialize was Jaromir Jagr's return to MSG. Jagr was a scratch with an injury, but with two more home games remaining against Philadelphia, it seems certain that Rangers' fans will get a chance to "welcome" Jaromir back to New York. more ›

This season's Rangers appear to be a streaky bunch. A seven-game winning streak gave way to a two-game losing streak, and the Rangers suddenly had trouble scoring. But they had no problems Friday against Washington -- at least after the first period. The Rangers scored four times in the second period, including three times in a 4:18 span, to beat the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last season. Marian Gaborik started the scoring with his 10th goal this season, and Ruslan Fedotenko had two goals himself.

In his first game this season, Sidney Crosby had quite the night against the Islanders. He had two goals and two assists as the Penguins cruised, 5-0.

Anders Nilsson made only his second start of the season and made 31 saves, bu the also let in the five goals. more ›

After seven straight wins, the Rangers saw their streak end in quiet fashion with a 4-0 loss at Montreal. Martin Biron took his first loss after three straight wins, but he didn't get much help. The Rangers had 17 shots but couldn't find their way by Carey Price. Losses are a rare thing for the Rangers, but this was the only the third time the Rangers trailed entering the third period. more ›
