Rempe and Marc Del Gaizo have been going at it all scrimmage, and it finally bubbled over here. #NYR

Life comes at you fast. Dylan Garand is on the starter’s side of the rink, occupying the net that usually belongs to Igor Shesterkin. #NYR

After playing the full game last night and saving 28 of the 31 shots he faced, Dylan Garand is on the ice 20 minutes early and getting loose by himself. #NYR

Alberts Šmits comes out with no bucket for the rookie lap. Greeted by boos from the Boston faithful. #NYR

No pucks today, all skating, led by coach Dawn Braid. First-round pick Alberts Šmits is wearing No. 63 in the second wave.

Very cool gesture from former #NYR forward and current #mnwild Mats Zuccarello, who’s wearing a No. 40 jersey with the last name “Rosen” for warmups to honor our guy Sam before his retirement.

Nice play and really cool moment for the rookie Jaroslav Chmelař for his first NHL goal #NYR

They probably deserved better given how they played, but #NYR lose to #TimeToHunt 3-2 in Jonathan Quick’s final start. Quick went right to the room, but the Panthers lingered on the ice until he came back out. Pretty cool gesture — and moment.

Here’s a close look at Fortescue’s release #NYR👇🏼

Surprising to see no tribute video for Ryan Lindgren, but he does get a nice hand from the crowd. #NYR

Look who just joined them? 👀 (It’s Patrick Kane)

That save deserves a 👀

Panarin did his usual routine as the last player on the ice, with the MSG crowd saluting him on the way off.

Here’s top prospect Gabe Perreault with a goal, then another from TJ Hughes #NYR

Here’s a look at PP1, with David Quinn running the show. Gavrikov has been disruptive on the PK. #NYR

Same thing for Kaapo Kakko #NYR

This angle is the scariest. That right foot getting caught on the post and the stress it puts on the knee is concerning. #NYR

🚨 GOALIE GOAL ALERT 🚨

Things got a little spicy while Corey Pronman, Scott Wheeler and Chris Peters were debating the upside of Gabe Perreault!

🚨 GOALIE FIGHT 🚨

Cuylle-Laba-Tolvanen continue to cause havoc. They’ve been the most consistent line in the early days of camp. #NYR

Newest #NYR prospect Liam Greentree with a three-point game tonight for Windsor Spitfires, including this goal. He’s up to 48 points (24 goals and 24 assists) through 36 games.

What a playoffs this former #NYR is having…

Here’s Chrenko (who started by telling us how to properly pronounce his name) #NYR 👇🏼

Newest #NYR prospect Liam Greentree is on fire. Hat trick tonight after scoring twice last night 🔥

Lengthy tribute for Chris Kreider, followed by a rousing ovation from the MSG faithful. He even showed some emotion, coming off the bench for a lap to salute the crowd while patting his heart. #NYR

Look at ya boy

Also a three-point night for #NYR prospect Nathan Aspinall, including two goals. The 2024 fifth-round pick leads the OHL with 71 points 26G and 45A) through 48 games. A big riser this season.

Now Alexis Lafrenière hits 20 goals in a season for the second time in his career #NYR

Back to being the last guy on the ice #NYR

Hartford was down by two on two separate occasions tonight but Brennan Othmann scored this tying goal the day after being demoted and the Wolf Pack eventually won in a 12-round shootout. That’s their third straight victory.

Panarin gets his welcome back at MSG

If there’s a time for Laviolette to breakout this intermission speech, it’s probably now…

Rookie lap for Noah Laba in the new centennial jersey #NYR
