#NYR lines — Rempe coming in Perreault-Zibanejad-Dorofeyev Kartye-Miller-Lafrenière Cuylle-Laba-Tolvanen Bjorkstrand-Beaudoin-Rempe Gavrikov-Fox Pettersson-Durzi Šmits-Schneider Garand (vs. Vasilevskiy) Martin
FINAL: The Rangers won 6-2 against Vancouver. Dylan Garand looked solid, and Will Cuylle and Tye Kartye each scored twice. It was the type of game the Rangers needed post-Shesterkin news.
FINAL: The Rangers lost 3-1 to the Capitals. The bigger story than the result: Igor Shesterkin left the game with a lower-body injury after jamming his right leg on the post midway through the second. He had to be helped off the ice.

FINAL: The Rangers won 4-2 against Utah to take their third in a row and improve to 3-1-0 on the year. Igor Shesterkin (27 saves, assist, shot attempt) was excellent, and J.T. Miller scored his first of the year on what was ultimately the game-winning goal.

The Rangers dropped their opener, falling 3-0 to Boston after a series of third period breakdowns.
END 2: The Rangers and Bruins are tied 0-0. Shots are relatively even — 15-14 Boston — but the Bruins were far more dangerous that period. The Rangers have had too many giveaways and allowed multiple breakaways and odd-man rushes that frame.
END 1: It's 0-0 between the Rangers and Bruins. With the shortened training camp, it feels like these teams are still knocking some rust off. Boston leads 8-5 in shots.

Alberts Šmits ‘left a lot of people with some decisions to make.’ Will he be on Rangers’ roster? (Gift Article)
Šmits has been among the team's six best defensemen in camp, but the organization knows it must consider his long-term development, also.

FINAL: The Rangers won 6-1 against the Islanders to conclude the preseason. Mike Sullivan’s team — with the potential opening night roster — took care of business against an AHL-heavy Islanders roster. Next up: Rangers at Bruins on Tuesday in a hockey game that counts.

“You know in your head if it’s a penalty or not. Whether it gets called or not, sometimes it’s a different story.” Finding the line between what you can and can't get away with in the NHL playoffs is tricky. It also could be the key to victory. My story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/635...
In the NHL playoffs, finding the line — and sometimes crossing it — is half the battle
In the playoffs, NHL players do absolutely anything and everything they can to grind their opponents down: "It is a fine line."
