Photograph of the Devils' Dainius Zubrus knocking the Rangers' Brandon Dubinsky down by Rick Schultz/AP Rangers 5, Devils 2: Martin Brodeur had appeared in all but two of the previous 100 meetings between these two teams. The Devils needed a lot more than him in this one. The Rangers scored four goals in the second period -- including two during two-man advantages -- as the Blueshirts continued the dominance of their cross-Hudson rivals that......

Knicks 101, Bobcats 98: Nate Robinson's 24 points will get plenty of the accolades, but Zach Randolph (25 points), Wilson Chandler (18) and Jamal Crawford really won this game for the Knicks. Robinson and some others were happy to stick it to Charlotte coach Larry Brown, who was at Madison Square Garden for the first time since his disappointing year as the man in charge of the Knicks. The win helped New York even its......

The Devils got terrible news today when they learned that Martin Brodeur will require elbow surgery Thursday to repair the distal bicep in his left elbow. Brodeur is expected to miss 3-4 months after the operation, which should allow him to return to the Devils in March. The loss of Brodeur elevates Kevin Weekes into the starting goaltender’s spot, a role he hasn’t had since the 2003-04 season. Scott Clemmensen, with 15 career games in......

Mavericks 99, Knicks 89: Are James Dolan and Isiah Thomas watching the same team the fans are? More boos were heard in Madison Square Garden during the latest Knicks debacle. But James Dolan and Isiah Thomas don't seem to hear them -- or feel the "Fire Isiah" chants are justified. What more evidence do they need? A loss to the Mavericks, the team that finished with the best record in the NBA last season, wouldn't......

Islanders 4, Rangers 3: Kevin Weekes didn't fill in too well for Henrik Lundqvist, and the Islanders handed the Rangers their third straight loss. The Rangers still lead the Atlantic Division, but the last three games have probably been their worst of the season. Weekes needs to take some of the blame; he's allowed 10 goals in the last 54 shots against him. But it's not all the goalie's fault. Teams that get outscored 19-6......

- Rangers 3 San Jose 1: New York completed a successful west coast swing with their second win in as many nights. Kevin Weekes looked stellar between the pipes, stopping 29 of 30 shots and Matt Cullen, Martin Straka and Brendan Shanahan scored. With Weekes playing well in consecutive games, the question is, who will start in goal on Sunday? - Derek Jeter wins another gold glove: Jeter is many things, but a great......

The Rangers are slumping at just the wrong time. Facing one of the worst teams in the league, New York gave up 35 shots while only managing 24 of their own and lost 5-3 to Pittsburgh. The loss coupled with a Devils win over Philadelphia leaves the Rangers with a 3 point lead in the division over both teams. Kevin Weekes played his worst game in awhile, letting in five goals and looking tired. It......

One of these days Jagr will get his 53rd goal. The last time the Rangers faced the Islanders; it had appeared that Jagr had scored, only to see the goal credited to Martin Straka. Last night the exact same thing happened in the Rangers’ 3-1 victory over the Islanders. To his credit, Jagr didn’t seem at all interested in the record stating after the game, “The record you might remember two weeks after that. But......

It has been nine long years since the Rangers last made the playoffs, but the drought is finally over thanks to a 3-2 victory over Philadelphia Wednesday night. The win gave New York 96 points a number which 9th place Atlanta will not be able to reach. Kevin Weekes was the hero of the game, making several key saves during regulation and then two great stops in the shootout. Weekes was only playing because of......

The Rangers escaped from Florida last night with a point and they should be happy they even got that. They wouldn’t have without the outstanding goaltending of Kevin Weekes who faced 45 shots and made several big saves before being unable to stop Olli Jokinen in the shootout. The loss was discouraging, but the bigger news was the injury to Martin Rucinsky. Rucinsky was slashed by Jay Bouwmeester near the end of the third period......

Kevin Weekes picked the perfect time to have his best game as a Ranger. New York stumbled out of the gate taking three penalties and committing multiple turnovers, but Weekes would not allow Philadelphia to score, despite facing 15 shots in the period. With Weekes allowing them to stay in the game, the Rangers hit their stride. Jaromir Jagr scored near the end of the first and the Rangers never looked back, destroying the Flyers......

Don’t expect the Rangers to be happy that the Olympic break has arrived. Why would a team that has won six straight want to stop playing now? Saturday night the Rangers beat Toronto 4-2 capping off a perfect month of February. Once again, Jaromir Jagr led the way scoring two goals to give him a league-leading 40 for the season. At this pace, Jagr has a good chance to set the Ranger’s single-season goal scoring......

Kevin Weekes had not started in goal since the middle of January and figured to be rusty last night, but the Rangers picked up their defense and didn’t allow an Islander shot in the first eleven minutes of their 5-2 victory. With the upcoming Olympic Break, the Rangers will need to rely on Weekes more to get through the compressed schedule in March and April. While Weeeks was given a chance to warm up, the......

The Rangers found a new way to lose in overtime last night. Simon Gagne took the opening faceoff and skated through two Rangers before depositing the puck past Kevin Weekes. The play took just seven seconds and gave Philadelphia a 4-3 win. The fact that Weeks was in goal was hard to understand. Henrik Lundqvist has outplayed him all season and with the Flyers in first place, this was a big game for the Rangers.......
