The Super Bowl wasn't the only event involving local teams on Sunday — there were also two hockey games. At Madison Square Garden, the Rangers defeated the Flyers, 5-2, for the fourth consecutive time this season and the sixth time in a row going back to last season. In a physical game with four fights, the Rangers pulled away from a 2-2 tie with Philadelphia by scoring three goals in the 3rd period. more ›

Ryan Callahan grew up in Rochester, just down the road from Buffalo. Wednesday he celebrated his homecoming with the winning goal in the shootout to propel the Rangers to a 1-0 win over the Sabres. Callahan's heroics might not have mattered if not for an outstanding night in the pipes by Henrik Lundqvist. Lundqvist stopped all 34 shots he faced and made two amazing saves with time running out in regulation and overtime. The win gives the Rangers three points in four nights and keeps them atop the Eastern Conference. more ›

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 ›

The fight between MSG and Time Warner Cable—the latter of which blocked channels from the former on January 1—continues unabated and fans are now coming up with interesting ways to get their Knicks-fix. Like, actually buying tickets to the games. Meanwhile, Time Warner Cable is rolling out fancy toys as a way to keep its customers placated (Fred Wilson, are you happy now?). 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 ›

The victim of a brutal beating following a Ranger-Flyers hockey game earlier this year spoke to NBC New York about the ordeal. NJ cop and Iraq War veteran Neal Auricchio showed where his orbital bone was broken—and also his still-bloodied eye—and described the altercation outside of Geno's Steaks, "They grabbed my friend's hat, threw a cigarette in it, threw one at me." more ›

The NJ man accused of viciously beating two Rangers fans after the Rangers-Flyers game in Philadelphia is back in custody, after a judge raised his bail from $100,000 to $400,000. 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 ›

The Rangers returned to their winning ways after a loss to Ottawa the other night. New York dominated Toronto, out-shooting them 30-20 as they cruised to a 3-0 victory. Marty Biron pitched the shutout while Mike Rupp, Brian Boyle and Derek Stepan had the Rangers' goals. more ›

A week after Philadelphia authorities released a video seeking suspects who beat a Rangers fan, a NJ man has turned himself in. Dennis Veteri, 32 (pictured), was charged with two counts each of aggravated assault, conspiracy aggravated assault, simple assault and reckless endangerment, according to Philly.com. more ›

After winning five straight and 10 of 11, the Rangers appeared to miss a beat in a 3-0 loss to Ottawa. They had 34 shots on goal, but they were all saved by Craig Anderson. This was the fourth time this season the Rangers had a five game winning streak. That's why they entered Thursday leading the league in points. more ›

So far in 2012 Time Warner Cable customers have been unable to watch the MSG or MSG+ networks on their boob tubes. And for understandable reasons, that is not making MSG or its corporate overlords the Dolans happy. So they're bringing out the free food to make sure you don't forget about them—or the teams they show (including the rocking Rangers). 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 ›

The Knicks did everything they could, but even they couldn't lose to a pathetic Washington club. Carmelo Anthony hit a huge three-pointer with 15 seconds left to give the Knicks a one-point lead and they held on for a 99-96 victory. Anthony scored 37 points while Amar'e added 23, but only shot 9-for-21 from the field. The defense had another off night as they allowed Washington to shoot over 48% from the field. more ›

With a 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers, the Rangers now have the most points in the NHL. Marian Gaborik scored 3:29 into overtime after an assist from Derek Stepan and helped make a winner out of Martin Biron, who has started four of the last nine games. Anton Stralman and Ryan Callahan had the other goals for the Rangers, who outshot Florida, 41-21. The Rangers took a lead 4:24 into the third period but gave it back 36 seconds later. Bill Clinton was in attendance and caught a puck that was thrown to him. He must have Time Warner Cable and be unable to watch the Rangers at home. more ›

Philadelphia police have released a video of Flyers fans beating up Rangers fans after Monday's Winter Classic outside of Geno's Steaks! One of the victims was Neal Auricchico, an off-duty NJ cop and former Marine, whose father said, "He got banged up pretty badly. "Stitches in the one eye, and the other eye is pretty puffed up. He went for a CAT scan today, and we're waiting for the results on that." more ›

Before playing the Flyers outside on Monday, the Rangers got their licks against the Panthers with a 4-1 win at Florida. Carl Hagelin scored his third goal in his last four games and added an assist to back Henrik Lundqvist, who made 27 saves. Hagelin didn't waste any time, either -- he scored 35 seconds into the game. Brad Richards, Michael Del Zotto and Brandon Dubinsky also scored. The Rangers have won six of seven and will play at Citizens Bank Park (home of the Phillies) on Monday. Ryan McDonagh had two assists. The Rangers have an Eastern Conference-best 50 points. more ›

Yet again, the Rangers had a winning streak snapped. That's becoming a theme this season. (But that's not really a bad thing.) They fell, 4-1, in Washington in a playoff rematch. Marian Gaborik, who had scored in each of the Rangers' five wins, did not have a goal in this game. Brandon Dubinsky scored for only the third time this season toat ward the end of the first period. The Rangers fell behind for good when Ryan McDonagh helped screen Martin Biron on Troy Brouwer's tiebreaking goal. Biron made 23 saves while giving Henrik Lundqvist a rest. more ›

The Rangers pulled into a tie for first in the Atlantic with a 4-2 win over Philadelphia.

Henrik Lundqvist made 28 saves, including 11 in the third period to earn the win. more ›

With two goals from Marian Gaborik and a short-handed strike from Carl Hagelin helped the Rangers to a 4-1 win over the Devils in Newark. Gaborik, who tallied his 600th career point, also assisted on Artem Anisimov's second-period goal. That tied the game at 1, and the Rangers didn't look back. Gaborik put the Rangers ahead before five minutes had elapsed in the third period (he got an assist from Anisimov as well) and Hagelin's fourth goal of the season helped remove doubt with 5:18 to go. Travis Zajac scored the Devils goal in the first period. Patrik Elias was ill and did not play for New Jersey. The teams will meet five more times before the season ends. more ›

Marian Gaborik had two goals and Brad Richards netted the game-winner with one-tenth of a second remaining as the Rangers stunned the Coyotes, 3-2, in Arizona.. The loss snapped a two-game losing streak that had seen the Rangers score only one goal in 120 minutes. The Rangers trailed by a goal entering the third period, but Gaborik scored early in the period before Richards' game-winner. Video replay was needed, but the Rangers got the two points. 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 ›

The Giants are atop the NFC East thanks to their best offensive and defensive players, beating the Cowboys 37-34.

New York is now in control of their playoff destiny. more ›

The last time the Rangers had two short-handed goals in the same period was March 6, 1997, when Bill Berg and Niklas Sundstrom scored. more ›
