Rangers mailbag: Locker room fallout, power-play changes, K’Andre Miller trade timeline
NY Post
The Rangers are 11-4-1, fifth overall in the NHL with a .719 points percentage that equates to a 118-point season that would break the franchise record of 114 points established last season.
Yet no one is happy with the start of the season.
The players aren’t. The head coach doesn’t seem to be much of the time, though I don’t believe Peter Laviolette is anywhere close to as discouraged as the general population. The media isn’t doing cartwheels, and neither are the customers.
Well, maybe goaltending coach Jeff Malcom might be an exception with Igor Shesterkin and Jonathan Quick combining for the third-best goals against average in the league at 2.36 and the NHL’s best save percentage at .925.

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.
