New York Rangers News & Notes

The Rangers are continuing to struggle to gain ground on a packed Metropolitan Division. Their battle with Philadelphia and Pittsburgh will decide which team will be the playoff-hopeful and which teams will become sellers.

Utah Hockey Club News & Notes

Utah is still a year or two away from the playoffs being a realistic expectation; in the meantime, they will be sellers once again. The Hockey Club will have more decisions to make on the future core of the team and will have plenty of options and cap flexibility to make things interesting at the Trade Deadline.
