NEW YORK RANGERS

Steve Yzerman had a busy Wednesday. NHL Free Agency opened at noon on July 13, and the Detroit Red Wings were among the busiest of teams, bringing in a slew of new players, all of which are sure to get some serious ice time.

The Detroit Red Wings hope they ungraded their second-line center spot Wednesday by signing Andrew Copp to a five-year, $28.125 million on the first day of NHL free agency. Copp (6-1, 206) turned 28 on July 8 and is coming off his best season, split between Winnipeg and the New York Rangers. Copp spent his first eight-plus seasons with the Jets before being moved to the Rangers at the trade deadline. The Red Wings’ top priority was upgrading their second-line center spot. Copp could man that spot with Jakub Vrana and Robby Fabbri, when he returns from his ACL injury.

The Detroit Red Wings are reportedly planning to sign Ann Arbor native Andrew Copp to a multi-year deal to kick off the NHL Free Agency period.

NHL teams trading draft picks to acquire players to gear up for a Stanley Cup playoff run can be risky. The Ann Arbor native continued his strong postseason Tuesday, recording a goal and two assists to help the Rangers beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 and tie the best-of-seven second-round series at 2-2. “Everyone’s kind of contributing and has been over the course of the playoffs,” Copp said after Tuesday’s win. Copp, who also played quarterback at Ann Arbor Skyline high school, spent the first six years of his NHL career with the Jets and has 82 goals and 120 assists in 483 career games.

Mike Smith showed at points during the seven games that his veteran prowess pays dividends, but at other points, he showed his age can prove costly. From their first meeting in the 1983 playoffs, to the Oilers winning in Game 7 in 1991, Edmonton won four of the five postseason matchups.

The start of the NHL playoffs included more penalties called than any other first round in almost a decade.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are at a crossroads following a fourth straight quick playoff exit.

For the better part of two decades, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang have served as the foundation upon which the Pittsburgh Penguins built three Stanley Cup champions. Not after a gut-wrenching playoff loss to the New York Rangers, when a 3-1 series lead ended with the Penguins being on the wrong end of the handshake line at raucous Madison Square Garden after the Rangers pulled off one staggering comeback after another. The last was a 4-3 overtime victory in Game 7 that marked Pittsburgh's fourth straight one-and-done during a time of year Crosby, Malkin and Letang have helped define.

Evgeni Malkin scored on a deflection 5:58 into the third overtime, giving the Pittsburgh Penguins a 4-3 victory over the New York Rangers in Game 1 of their first-round series.

New York is coming into their first playoff series since 2017, and have a very balanced attack. The Rangers took three of the four meetings with their divisional rivals, and look to win the first playoff series between the two franchises since 2016. The Panthers were able to take the season series, winning two of the three matchups. The Avs took three of the four regular season meetings in 2021-22, incuding two in extra time. The Flames took two of the three regular season meeting this season, with the Stars taking an OT victory back in November.

The eight playoff teams in the Eastern Conference have been set since before the All-Star break.

The Pittsburgh Penguins will begin their first-round playoff matchup with the New York Rangers without Tristan Jarry, though they haven't ruled out the All-Star's return before the end of the series. Head coach Mike Sullivan characterized Jarry as “day to day” but indicated Jarry would not be available when the best-of-seven series opens in New York on Tuesday. Jarry hasn't played since being diagnosed with a lower-body injury following a victory over the New York Islanders on April 14.

The Panthers showed why again on Thursday with a 5-2 victory over the Red Wings at FLA Live Arena. The Panthers won their 12th in a row to equal a franchise record. Florida swept the four-game season series from Detroit and the past three games weren’t particularly close as the Panthers outscored the Red Wings 17-5. “I think games like tonight against a team that is going to be in the Stanley Cup conversation are good measuring sticks,” Red Wings forward Sam Gagner said. It shows the rebuilding Red Wings that fortunes can change quickly.

Ryan Strome scored twice, Adam Fox added a goal and Igor Shesterkin made 31 saves as the New York Rangers recorded a third-straight shutout and their 50th win of the season, 3-0 over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.

The Detroit Red Wings produced one of the most improbable upsets of this NHL regular season when they went on the road and blanked the Metropolitan Division-leading Hurricanes 3-0 on Thursday. That win will surely have the attention of the New York Rangers, and repeating that performance in New York will be a tall task for Detroit. Asking the Red Wings to pull that off again is too much. Things get even worse for the Red Wings away from home. The Red Wings have stayed under six goals in three of their last four.

The NHL announced Friday it is pushing back its return by a day, so all Monday games have been postponed, including the Detroit Red Wings’ contest at the New York Rangers. The Red Wings’ next scheduled game is Wednesday at the New York Islanders. Detroit had two games postponed this week, Monday at home vs. Colorado due to the number of Avalanche players in COVID protocol, and Thursday at Minnesota due to the increasing number of Red Wings in COVID protocol (11 players). Teams are permitted to return to practice on Sunday, but the Red Wings haven’t announced yet whether they will return to the ice at that time.
