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.

Well, well, well. We have a Matt Rempe sighting at #NYR practice. (In a non-contact jersey.)

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

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

🚨 GOALIE FIGHT 🚨

Oh no: Miller went lunging to save a puck here and came up favoring his leg. You can see he’s in pain and he heads off to the locker room. #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

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.

Back to being the last guy on the ice #NYR

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

Practice is winding down, but all the defensemen stuck around. David Quinn has been going over wall work pretty extensively with them for the last 10 minutes. #NYR

Another game at MSG, another loss for the #NYR, who have only won five times in 20 tries on home ice. Michelle Margaux and I have the report for SNY on what went wrong this time and what it all means looking ahead to the trade deadline 👇🏼

Hartford lost for the 8th time in its last 9 games tonight, but Dylan Garand helped keep it close with this highlight save in the second period 👇🏼
