The 37-year-old has played in over 930 NHL games and had two goals and seven assists last season split between the Devils and Flyers.

🔮 “Obviously, we knew what he could bring defensively, but he’s got that offensive game to him.
🔮 The silver lining to Igor Shesterkin’s impending placement on season-ending long-term injury reserve is the sizable cap relief the Rangers will get in return — and the possibilities are endless.
🔮 Sullivan has indicated that dressing Chmelar or Rempe would be a game-to-game decision, but the former had gotten a stretch of games amid the Rangers’ 5-1 run after their shutout loss in Boston.
🔮 After some heavy play along the walls to maintain possession with his linemates, Will Cuylle registered his third goal of the season as the lone goal scorer in the second period.

🔮 I think Will Cuylle’s an emerging young guy that’s starting to take on more of a leadership role for us.
🔮 And after hearing the most devastating injury news possible about their star goalie Igor Shesterkin, who will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury, the 2026-27 Rangers took a 6-2 win over a struggling Canucks team despite giving up an equalizing shorthanded goal late in the second period. “This is a situation I feel like not a lot needs to be said,” captain J.T. Miller said Sunday morning after participating in an optional skate.
🔮 We like his potential and where it could go.
🔮 The Blueshirts would lose more than just the best goaltender in the NHL, who was off to an electric start to the season.
🔮 The 3-for-14 (21.4 percent) showing with the man advantage through five games is indicative of the adjustment, especially considering two of those goals were scored by the second power-play unit that features Sean Durzi, Gabe Perreault, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Will Cuylle and Eeli Tolvanen. “I think it’s a work in progress right now,” head coach Mike Sullivan said after practice Thursday before the Rangers headed for Washington, D.C.
🔮 The Rangers will carry the longest active win streak in the NHL (four games) into their matchup with the Capitals on Friday night in Washington, D.C.
