Have the Rangers finally found something sustainable after a season of lineup experiments?
NY Post
Which came first: stability within the lineup or stability on the ice?
A year ago, Peter Laviolette’s first season behind the Rangers bench produced remarkable consistency with line combinations and defense pairings even when Filip Chytil went down for the regular-season count in the 10th game of the year.
Through the first 43 matches of 2023-24, Mika Zibanejad skated between four sets of wingers and Vincent Trocheck centered two different combinations while the Blueshirts utilized 22 different triumvirates that included nine distinct sets of wingers for Nick Bonino.
At the same time, the Rangers sent out six distinct defense tandems through Game 43, K’Andre Miller paired exclusively with Jacob Trouba, while the team also went with seven on the blue line once.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
