Will Borgen has been lauded for what he’s brought to the Rangers defensively since arriving. But Monday, it was his shot that stole the show.
Borgen has given the Rangers much-needed stability on the blue line — a surprise to no one who's witnessed his hockey rise.
New York Rangers’ general manager Chris Drury made a lot of moves this season, trading away Kaapo Kakko, Filip Chytil, Jacob Trouba, Victor Mancini, Jimmy Vesey, and Ryan Lindgren while adding J.T.
Will Cuylle and Will Borgen scored in the first period, Igor Shesterkin stopped 20 shots for his fourth shutout of the season, and the New York Rangers beat the crosstown-rival Islanders 4-0.
Will Cuylle’s got his head in the game. Not just regarding his development in his third New York season, but also quite literally after a fluke goal amid a strong performance in Monday’s 4-0 victory that reminded the Rangers how much the 23-year-old has come into his own — no matter how goofy the reminder was.
While the Ottawa Senators made a blockbuster deal, the New York Rangers operated along the margins at the trade deadline and made their big move a few weeks ago.
Will Cuylle scored on a fortuitous bounce late in the first period and added an assist as the New York Rangers beat the visiting New York Islanders 4-0 on Monday night.
The New York Rangers are all set for their matchup against the Washington Capitals today at 7:30 PM EST. Here’s everything you need to know from a Rangers perspective. Projected Lineup: Forwards: Artemi Panarin-Vincent Trocheck-Alexis Lafrenière Will Cuylle-J.
