Rangers left with far-fetched playoff scenario after brutal shutouts
NY Post
After Saturday’s shutout loss to the Islanders, there is now only one improbable scenario for the Rangers to make the playoffs.
The Blueshirts would have to win all four of their remaining games, two against the second-place Capitals and two against the team they’re trailing by eight points, the Bruins. Not only would they have to win outright, but Boston would have to go 0-6 over its final games of the season to lose the fourth playoff spot in the East Division. It’s not just an unlikely situation, it’s farfetched.
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.
