Rangers sign top prospect Gabe Perreault to entry-level deal
The Rangers have signed top prospect Gabe Perreault to a three-year, entry-level contract. Perreault's sophomore season with Boston College came to an end on Sunday with a loss to Denver in the NCAA Regional Finals -- and his camp reached out to the organization shortly after looking to take his game to the next level. Advertisement He'll join the team for Tuesday's practice and could make his NHL debut as soon as Wednesday against the Wild. The 19-year-old has long been viewed as one of the biggest steals in the 2023 NHL Draft after he somehow fell to the Blueshirts at the 23rd overall pick -- quickly rising through the ranks to establish himself as a top prospect in the sport. Perreault dominated at World Juniors to help Team USA secure back-to-back gold medals, and he shined during his two years with the BC Eagles -- finishing second among NCAA skaters with 73 assists and third with 108 points. He was named a Hockey East First-Team All-Star this past season and was also a finalist for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, which is presented to the NCAA's top mens hockey player each year. The youngster is joining the Rangers at the perfect time, as they've been struggling of late but they still find themselves tied with the Montreal Canadiens for the second Eastern Conference Wild Card spot with just eight games left.

Red Wings Weekly News Recap: Post 2025 Trade Deadline
While nagging can build frustration, a little reminder never hurt anyone. The Detroit Red Wings have been a busy team over the last week. Like the rest of the NHL, they are dealing with the aftermath of a hectic trade deadline. Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. *Highlights from the Red Wings' most recent win. Last Sunday (March 9th, to be precise), Red Wings newcomers Petr Mrazek and Craig Smith joined the team for their first practice. Their new jersey numbers were also revealed at that time. Former Red Wing David Perron Heating Up Detroit Red Wings Schedule For March 2025 Can The Red Wings Make The Playoffs? Red Wings Playoff Chances Haven't Evaporated (Yet) So, you are saying there's a chance? The following day, the Red Wings took on the Ottawa Senators in a very important matchup. They ultimately lost the contest 2-1, with goaltender Linus Ullmark pulling out all the stops - 48 of them. Players can only participate in a playoff run if they are acquired by the NHL's Trade Deadline. However, teams are still allowed to make trades. The Red Wings AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, pulled off a minor deal with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins by acquiring defender Nikolai Knyzhov for future considerations. Swedish prospect Axel Sandin-Pellikka is having a season. Just this past week, he set an SHL record. Additionally, rumors are swirling that he will join the Red Wings once his SHL season and playoffs have reached their end. While this hasn't been officially confirmed at this time, all signs point to it being the case. The Red Wings broke a streak of bad luck by walloping the Buffalo Sabres 7-3. Patrick Kane had a huge night, recording two goals and three assists in 17:21 minutes of work to propel them to a victory. Another Swedish defenseman made headlines with the Red Wings last week. Anton Johansson signed a three-year entry-level contract with the team. The 6-foot-4 right-handed defender has played full-time in the SHL for the last two years and will report to the Griffins under an AHL tryout. And just when you thought things were going well, the Red Wings get handed another loss. This time, it came at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes. Alex DeBrincat and Michael Rasmussen scored for the Red Wings in a 4-2 result. Thanks to Trey Augustine, Michigan State is going to the Big Ten Championship game. Augustine is having quite the season. He's already won a World Junior Gold Medal with Team USA this season, and adding another Big Ten Championship would put an emphatic exclamation point on his season. Finally, the Red Wings capped off their week by gaining ground on the final Eastern Conference Wild Card spot. They earned a 3-0 shutout victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. Mrazek earned an 18-save shutout while Albert Johansson, Lucas Raymond, and Marco Kasper contributed the run support. Never miss a story by adding us to your Google News favorites.

The Detroit Red Wings are in a peculiar position heading into this Friday's Trade Deadline.

Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. That sounds like the perfect recipe for the Red Wings, but they are still looking for upgrades. And they were in the mix on a recently traded defender by the sound of things. According to Elliotte Friedman, in the latest 32 Thoughts episode released on Monday, the Red Wings have been looking to add a defender. 'I think he's been looking for a defenseman,' Elliotte said of Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman. 'I think he was looking at (Ryan) Lindgren. I think he also had some interest in some guys who've been out there, like Will Borgen kind of guys.' 'I think it's safe to say that's been on his mind.'

Ville Husso Breaks Record With New Team 4 Red Wings Who Could Be Traded To New Teams Red Wings Trade Targets: Trevor Zegras Red Wings Connected To 3 Superstars Red Wings 2025 Trade Deadline Tracker It's almost Christmas for hockey fans. Ryan Lindgren and Will Borgen are defensive-minded defenders. Borgen has been a rock for the New York Rangers since being traded from the Seattle Kraken, and Lindgren was just shipped to the Colorado Avalanche from the Rangers last week. Of these two player types, Yzerman should be more interested in Borgen than Lindgren. Borgen is right-handed, while Lindgren is left-handed, and the organization is set on lefties. With Jeff Petry's injury and his expiring deal, Yzerman may see that as an opportunity to upgrade on that position. While it's true that the Red Wings could use a center, they must not neglect adding a long-term piece to their blueline so they can remain competitive for many years to come.

Jonathan Quick tremendous in net, J.T. Miller scores in Rangers' 4-0 win over Predators
The Rangers defeated the Nashville Predators 4-0 on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden. - With Chris Kreider landing on injured reserve with an upper-body injury and Reilly Smith out for roster-related reasons ahead of the trade deadline, New York saw youngsters Brennan Othmann and Brett Berard jump into the lineup. Berard capped off an outstanding return to the NHL-level, finding the back of the net late in the third period off a nice feed from Sam Carrick. He finished with five shots on goal and three hits, while Othmann didn't make much of an impact offensively, but he did showcase his physicality with two hits of his own. - Speaking of physicality, Matt Rempe laid a tough hit along the boards just five minutes into the game. He received two minutes for elbowing and was forced to answer for the hit as Nashville's Andreas Englund dropped the gloves -- leaving Rempe bloodied in the process. - Both of the Rangers' new additions -- Calvin de Haan and Juuso Parssinen -- were in the starting lineup as expected and it didn't take long for one of them to reach the score sheet. De Haan picked up the secondary assist on Artemi Panarin's game-opening goal. The veteran d-man finished with two shots and four hits while Parssinen threw five hits of his own. - For Panarin, that marked his team-leading 24th goal -- and he picked up an assist later in the game to give him his 60th point of the season. He became just the eight player in franchise history to reach that mark in four consecutive seasons. The star winger finished with a game-high seven shots on goal on the night. - J.T. Miller continues to play tremendous hockey since being acquired from the Canucks. The big-bodied center found the back of the net off a beautiful feed from Panarin on the power play just a minute into the second period. He added an assist minutes later on a K'Andre Miller goal -- giving him six goals and six assists in 10 games since returning. - The addition of Miller has helped pick up the play of Mika Zibanejad. He picked up two more assists on the night on both the Miller's goals to help him extend his point streak to an impressive six games. Zibanejad now has 21 points in 24 games since the calendar flipped to 2025. He's been terrific over the last month in particular, producing a league-leading four goals and 11 assists in 10 games since the beginning of Feb. - Vintage Jonathan Quick was on full display in this one as he made the 800th start of his career. The veteran netminder was tremendous, stopping all 35 shots he faced to earn his third shutout and ninth win of the season. Perhaps his most impressive sequence came early in the third when he sprawled out and somehow made a twirling stick save on Nashville's Nick Blankenburg to keep them off the board. - With this win, the Rangers are now tied with the Senators and Bruins with 64 points -- which is just two behind the Red Wings and four behind the Blue Jackets in the Eastern Conference Wild Card race. The 39-year-old backup continues stepping up whenever the Blueshirts call his number.
