Rangers Lock In Brody Lamb — So What About Raoul Boilard? Rangers Sign Lamb What a wild Thursday. The New York Rangers made us eat a few words by signing 2021 fourth‑round pick Brody Lamb to a two‑year entry‑level contract. Sometimes eating your words isn’t so bad when it’s for a genuinely good person. Lamb has spent the last five years proving he can score from anywhere on the ice. When he gets hot, he’s almost impossible to stop, and he loves driving straight to the net.

No watch the Rangers untank and drop out of the lottery with a late season run. A win tonight and they fall to 5th in the draft.

Rangers Prospects: Battaglia Debuts as Aspinall Hits 30 Goals Seven Rangers prospects played Friday, including Jacob Battaglia’s debut, NCHC playoff openers and the Big Ten finale. Introducing Jacob Battaglia The Rangers acquired Jacob Battaglia from Calgary for Brennan Othmann. Battaglia was Calgary’s 2024 second‑round pick. He plays center with Nathan Aspinall in Flint but likely projects as a right wing. Listed at 6‑1 and 202 pounds, he fits that role.

Rangers Prospects Quiet Again in Saturday Action Another day brought no offense from the nine New York Rangers prospects in action Saturday. Only one player produced points, and both were secondary assists. North Dakota defenseman E.J. Emery had both assists in a 6–4 win over St. Cloud State. He set up North Dakota’s second goal and the game‑winning fifth goal. The two assists marked a career best for the sophomore defender.

Rangers Prospects Struggle Offensively as Regular Seasons Wind Down Friday night looked a lot like the New York Rangers’ season: not enough offense. Nine prospects played, and the organization produced only one goal and one assist. It’s the wrong time of year to go quiet. NCAA teams have three or fewer weeks left. Canadian junior clubs have fewer than 15 games remaining. All 12 Rangers prospects are on track for the playoffs, but several may only get one game.

I spent a lot of time at the NCVMC watching the Nets. I was a fan of Billy Paultz AKA The Whopper until Julius Erving joined the Nets and I was hooked. There was some great talent in the ABA that never got their respect. George Gervin, Artis Gilmore, Louie Dampier, and Roger Brown.

Greentree’s Three‑Point Game Leads Rangers Prospects Five New York Rangers prospects were in action across the CHL on Monday as teams in Ontario and Prince Edward Island played afternoon games for “Family Day” and “Islander Day.” Greentree Stars in Windsor Rout Windsor captain Liam Greentree earned first‑star honors with a two‑goal, three‑point performance in the Spitfires’ 7–1 win over the Saginaw Spirit in OHL play. Greentree opened his scoring in the second period, cutting across the zone from the right boards before ripping a shot that beat the Saginaw goaltender cleanly for his 26th of the season.

Forgive me but three months after my father passed away, I got to see the greatest miracle on ice. A bunch of kids beat the Soviet machine in the Olympics.
That is why I won't watch the NHL pros in the Olympics because I like watching miracles happen

Rasmus Larsson scored his first goal of the season as Robert Morris defeated Niagara 5–1 in Atlantic Hockey play. The sophomore defenseman opened the scoring with a point shot for his first point in 14 games.

Henricks’ Three‑Point Night Highlights Rangers Prospects Eight New York Rangers prospects produced a mixed but eventful night across the NCAA, OHL, and QMJHL, with several players snapping slumps, extending scoring streaks, and factoring into key wins as the organization continues to track development across its thin pipeline. Ty Henricks snapped a six‑game goal and pointless drought with a three‑point night as No. 4 Western Michigan rolled past Arizona State 6–2 in NCHC play.
