New Jersey Devils' Nico Hischier Nets 2 in Come From Behind Win (Highlights)
Young Nico Hischier finally got himself in the goal column tonight scoring twice in the first period for the New Jersey Devils. After the first, the Devils led 2-1 but that did not last long. They followed a strong first up with about the worst possible second they could have had. They surrendered three goals from Derek Brassard, Alexandre Burrows, and Taylor Pyatt. To make matters worse Cory Schneider left the game with an apparent lower-body injury.
New York Islanders, John Tavares Sting Rangers 4-3 in SO (Highlights)
Head coach Alain Vigneault has been preaching to the Rangers about having a good start. This has been a major dilemma this year for the Rangers and it continued in this one. Chris Kreider put the Islanders on the power play just 1:30 in and they would cash in. Anders Lee would score the Islanders first powerplay goal of the season banking in the rebound on a Ryan Pulock shot for the early lead.
New York Islanders: Mathew Barzal Nets First NHL Goal (Video)
The New York Islanders traded for the 16th overall pick in the 2015 NHL draft. They would end up turning that pick into center Mathew Barzal, a pick that was heavily praised in the hockey world. He was worth the wait if he continues doing things like this all season long. Barzal would make the team after training camp in 2016. But struggles in his only two games forced the team to send him back to the WHL to improve his skills.
New York Islanders: Scott Mayfield Proving His Top Four Worth
Scott Mayfield played four games for Jack Capuano between November and January. After Doug Weight took over, Mayfield was in the lineup every day and morphed into a true NHL defenseman. Mayfield recorded nine points (two goals and seven assists) in 25 games last season. Over an 82-game season he would have recorded 30 points. Working alongside Adam Pelech, the two formed a very solid third pair and guaranteed themselves roster spots for this season.
The New York Islanders Touched Countless Hearts With This Gesture
Sometimes, it’s the little things that go the longest of ways. On Wednesday, 8-year-old Brandon Bloom was an honorable member of the Islanders for the day. For 24 hours, he was just one of the boys. This is a difficult time for Brandon, who is battling Stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Every day is a struggle. Every day is put into perspective. Images of Brandon — whether they be in the locker room or on the ice with his new ‘teammates’ — lit up the Islanders practice facility.
5 Factors That'll Make or Break the New York Knicks' 2017-18 Season
Carmelo Anthony is gone and Kristaps Porzingis is at the center of all things blue and orange. Some new faces are in and some notable faces have departed. And the reoccurring notion surrounding this new-look New York Knicks team is that they’re a rebuilding bunch, one that isn’t playoff bound. However, head coach Jeff Hornacek and the Knicks are still going to attempt making a playoff run, whether that be realistic or not.
New York Rangers: What Has Happened To Henrik Lundqvist?
The New York Rangers continue to lose close hockey games and with that comes some unusual stats for starting goaltender Henrik Lundqvist. His record this season is 1-3-1 with a 2.82 goals against average and a .914 save percentage. Henrik has had 30 wins or more in every season he has been with the Rangers with the exception of the NHL lockout season in 2012-13 in which he won 24 games.
Power Ranking the Playoff Teams Mets Fans Should Root For
Although the Mets missed the playoffs this year for the first time since 2015, the postseason tournament is still worth watching. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to land on a team to support once your favorite team is eliminated—or doesn’t make the dance at all. Because of this, we’ve put together a power rankings list of which teams Mets fans could be most inclined to root for in October.
New York Mets: Brutally Honest Outfield Report Card
The 2017 New York Mets outfield came into the season with high expectations, as the group’s power was considered the backbone of the team’s lineup. Sluggers Yoenis Cespedes, Curtis Granderson, and Jay Bruce were expected to hit home runs and play adequate defense in the field. Now as the playoffs begin, Mets fans will see both Granderson and Bruce playing for other organizations (the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cleveland Indians, respectively) as they attempt to win a World Series ring.
Doug McDermott is an Intriguing Addition to the Knicks' Young Core
Nearly two weeks ago, the New York Knicks traded Carmelo Anthony to the Oklahoma City Thunder. In return, they netted big man Enes Kanter, a 2018 second round pick and forward Doug McDermott. The biggest name in that package is the veteran Kanter, but McDermott is simultaneously an enticing and underrated addition to the Knicks’ young core. In a 2014 draft-night trade, the Chicago Bulls got their hands on McDermott, a four-year Creighton University product.
New York Yankees' Joe Girardi Silences Critics With Wild Card Mastery
Will all the real Joe Girardi haters please stand up? That, of course, is before you are called on a take a few seats for all the unwarranted criticism and vitriol you aimed in the direction of the New York Yankees‘ manager all season long. It culminated in perhaps his best individual game performance as manager, given all the circumstances emanating from what was an intense do-or-die Wild Card game against the Twins. Heavy dogs and all, the Twins showed fight.
New York Mets: Brutally Honest Starting Rotation Report Card
The 2017 season turned out to be one of the uglier ones in recent memory for the New York Mets. Underperformance on the field, in the trainer’s room, and in the front office all contributed to overall dysfunction for a team with playoff aspirations. That coupled with the fact that the team’s opening day roster faced some serious turnover throughout the season was a recipe for failure.
New York Yankees Postseason Success Over Twins Is All-Too Familiar
On Tuesday, the New York Yankees advanced to play the Cleveland Indians in the American League Divisional Series on Thursday with an 8-4 win over the Twins in the American League Wild Card game. In the history of the Wild Card Game (five years), the team that starts the more-experienced starting pitcher (by career starts to that point) has won eight of the 10 contests.
Yankees Advance To ALDS After Wild Win Over Minnesota (Highlights)
Just 29 pitches into the 2017 American League Wild Card Game, all hope looked lost for the New York Yankees. In front of a sellout, postseason crowd at Yankee Stadium, ace Luis Severino recorded just one out in the first inning while allowing three runs on four hits including two home runs. But we’re talking about the team that pulled out 41 come-from-behind wins during the regular season.
New York Knicks Drop Preseason Opener vs. Nets
The New York Knicks looked like a completely different team on offense without Carmelo Anthony. On defense, it was more of the same and that’s why they lost. To the Nets of all teams. The ball was moving and the Knicks were running Jeff Hornacek’s up-tempo offense well. They dropped 107 points on the Nets but gave up 115. New York may not have a problem scoring this year, but defense is still going to be an issue. Brooklyn’s 16 three-pointers on 32 attempts were the difference in this game.
New York Yankees: Aaron Judge Off To Historic Start To Playoff Career
There is very little the New York Yankees‘ American League MVP candidate didn’t experience in the 2017 regular season. Aaron Judge’s first half established himself as a superstar in the sport. His performance in the Home Run Derby tested the limits of a big league ballpark. Although he was hit with a post-All-Star slump that gave his MVP chances a hit, he picked it up in September to close out the year with 52 home runs — a new rookie record.

Anti-New York Knicks Ads Pop Up On NYC Subway
The New York Knicks have received a lot of criticism over the last few years. The upcoming 2017-18 season doesn’t look like it’s going to be any different. Fox Sports decided to use one of the biggest public platforms in the city—the subway system—to express the frustration fans feel over this team.
New York Yankees Announce 25-Man Roster For AL Wild Card Game
As the New York Yankees look to advance to the American League Division Series for the first time since 2012, they announced the roster they’ll look to accomplish that with. On Tuesday morning, the team announced the 25-man roster Joe Girardi will battle the Minnesota Twins with in the 2017 AL Wild Card Game at Yankee Stadium.
Yankees Send Vegas-Born Reliever Out To Toss First Pitch
Sometimes things are a little more important than baseball. The New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins face off this evening in the Bronx for the AL Wild Card game. However, before that even started, they made sure to recognize those lives lost during the tragic shooting that occurred in Las Vegas. In doing so, Aaron Trveit sang the National Anthem with tears in his eyes, as well as both teams sitting in a moment of silence. But perhaps the coolest way to honor Las Vegas was not shown on TV.
Little Yankees' Fan Trolls Twins With Jay-Z Lyrics Before Wild Card Game
The 2017 American League Wild Card Game features some of the biggest stars in the game today. While the focus remains on them, fans have always shown they deserve some of the spotlight. Aaron Judge burst onto the MLB scene this season hitting a rookie-record 52 home runs. Needless to say, Judge and his major power have captured the affection of the Bronx faithful. It also goes without saying that the Twins will need to worry about Judge when he steps up to the plate tonight.
New York Yankees: Didi Gregorius Shakes The Bronx With Game-Tying Shot (Video)
Set the stage. Put runners on and get your clutch hitter up to the plate. Rinse and repeat. The New York Yankees are never out of a game and Didi Gregorius just proved that in the biggest spot this season. The Stadium was quieted after the Twins put up a three-spot in the top of the first inning while kicking out the Yankee’ ace, Luis Severino. But the Yankees hadn’t even gotten to the plate yet.
Two New York Yankees Finish In The Top-20 Of Jersey Sales
The Baby Bombers have taken Major League Baseball by storm and the jersey sales from the 2017 regular season certainly show it. On Tuesday, the league announced that New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge had the most popular jersey this season, with teammate Gary Sanchez not too far behind at 15. This comes as no surprise, as Judge has a season to remember.
New York Yankees Catcher Gary Sanchez Gets Drilled In The Jewels (Video)
We’ve seen Gary Sanchez show excitement. We’ve seen him show frustration. Tonight was the first time we saw the New York Yankees backstop express pure, unfiltered pain. And for good reason. As David Robertson fired in what he hoped was a strikeout pitch, Sanchez ended up getting nailed in the groin by the foul tip. And not just a near miss. He got hit head-on by on of DRob’s finest pitches. Oh, the agony.
New York Islanders: Anthony Beauvillier, Josh Ho-Sang Highlight Mini Camp Roster
One of the things every franchise in sports can’t get enough of is prospects. Everyone loves prospects. And the New York Islanders are no different. Friday, the team announced the 50 players who will participate in its annual mini camp—29 forwards, 16 defensemen and five goalies. The gathering of prospects includes plenty of on-ice and off-ice workouts to help the coaches and scouts evaluate the progress of all in attendance.
