|
| |  | NY RANGERS: LAST SEASON: 45-31-6, 96 points. Finished 2nd in Metropolitan Division, 5th in Eastern Conference. Lost to Los Angeles Kings in Stanley Cup finals.
COACH: Alain Vigneault, 2nd season with Rangers (45-31-6); 13th overall in NHL (467-319-102).
ADDED: D Dan Boyle, D Mike Kostka, D Matt Hunwick, C Chris Mueller, LW Tanner Glass, G Cedrick Desjardins, C Matthew Lombardi, RW Lee Stempniak, LW Ryan Malone.
LOST: C Brad Richards, RW Derek Dorsett, C Brian Boyle, D Anton Stralman, LW Benoit Pouliot, D Justin Falk, RW Arron Asham, LW Daniel Carcillo, D Raphael Diaz, C Darroll Powe.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Rick Nash. The top forward will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing postseason in which the 2002 No. 1 draft notched only three goals and 10 points in 25 games and heard boos from the crowd. The 30-year-old left wing has come to training camp looking thinner and fitter as he heads into his third season with the Rangers. Nash has four seasons left for big money on his current contract, so there is plenty of time for him to win over the Madison Square Garden faithful.
OUTLOOK: The Rangers will go as far as goalie Henrik Lundqvist, ''The King,'' will take them. The team has undergone major changes since the run to the finals, but with the strong core of returning veterans such as Nash, Martin St. Louis, and defensemen Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh, fortified by newcomers Dan Boyle, Lee Stempniak and Ryan Malone, New York could again be a tough out in the playoffs. A new captain is expected to be announced at the start of the season to replace the trio of alternate captains that took leadership roles after former captain Ryan Callahan was traded to Tampa Bay late last season for St. Louis. | | DETROIT: LAST SEASON: 39-28-15, 93 points. Lost in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Mike Babcock, 10th season with Red Wings, 415-198-91; 12th overall in NHL.
ADDED: C Andy Miele, C Kevin Porter.
LOST: RW Mikael Samuelsson, C Cory Emmerton, C David Legwand, RW Todd Bertuzzi.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Gustav Nyquist. The 25-year-old Swede is coming off a breakout season in which he scored a team-high 28 goals in only 57 games. If the Red Wings are going to return to the NHL's elite, they're going to need younger players like Nyquist to grow into significant roles alongside aging stars like Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk.
OUTLOOK: If injuries mount like last season, the Red Wings may have to fight down the stretch to extend their streak of 23 straight playoff appearances. Datsyuk is expected to miss the start of the regular season with a separated shoulder. |

*Rangers-Red Wings Preview* ===========================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
New York (39-17-6) at Detroit (35-15-11), 8:00 p.m. EDT
With deadline deals done completed, the New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings are ready to make their final pushes for playoff positioning.
Mats Zuccarello's play down the stretch also could be pivotal in the Metropolitan Division title chase for New York, which seeks a 10th win in 12 games Wednesday night when it visits Detroit.
The Rangers (39-17-6), battling the Islanders and Pittsburgh for the division lead, continue to play some of the best hockey in the NHL, averaging 3.9 goals during a 9-1-1 stretch. Derick Brassard has 11 assists in that span while Rick Nash has five goals and five assists despite missing a game.
Brassard had two assists while Nash scored his 38th goal in Monday's 4-1 victory over league-leading Nashville, winning in All-Star defenseman Keith Yandle's debut after he was acquired Sunday from Arizona.
Coach Alain Vigneault may have been most pleased by Zuccarello having two assists hours after he agreed to a four-year, $18 million extension.
Zuccarello, who had a team-high 59 points in his breakout 2013-14 campaign, has been inconsistent this season with 37 points through 60 games. He had four goals and five assists during a seven-game point streak Jan. 31-Feb. 12 but had only three points in the next eight games before recording a pair Monday. Additionally, he had just 10 points during New York's 11-9-3 start.
The Rangers are 22-4-3 when he tallies at least one point.
"He was a real good player," Vigneault said of his performance Sunday. "I don't know if the fact that he just signed his big deal made him do that, but we need him to be on top of his game.
"Hopefully his mind is clear, and we're going to see Mats on a regular basis."
The Red Wings (35-15-11) are six points back of first-place Montreal in the Atlantic and also trail Tampa Bay. They acquired left wing Erik Cole from Dallas on Sunday in exchange for minor leaguers Mattias Janmark and Mattias Backman and a second-round pick. They also sent a conditional pick to New Jersey for defenseman Marek Zidlicky on Monday.
Cole has 18 goals and 15 assists in 57 games. Zidlicky was second on the Devils with 75 blocked shots.
"We're right in the thick of things in the Eastern Conference, and if we could add a piece or two, leading up to the deadline, to make us a little deeper, a little better-prepared for a playoff series, at a price that we could live with, we wanted to do it," general manager Ken Holland said.
Zidlicky in particular could boost what is already the NHL's best power play, converting 25.0 percent of its opportunities. Twelve of his 23 points this season have come on the man advantage.
Cole, meanwhile, is riding a hot stretch with five goals and four assists over his last 10 games.
The Red Wings also knocked off the Predators their last time out, 4-3 on Saturday to conclude a 4-1-1 trip. Four of their next five games are at home.
Henrik Zetterberg, second on Detroit with 49 points, could be back on the ice after missing four games since taking a shot to the head in a Feb. 21 win over the Stars.
The Rangers had won five straight in the series, including a 4-3 home victory in overtime Nov. 5, prior to a 3-2 loss in Detroit on Dec. 6. The Red Wings are 7-0-1 in the last eight home meetings.
