Falling just short, 3-2 in overtime, to a strong Avalanche team Tuesday night at Ball Arena, the Rangers felt like they had the game in hand for 58 minutes before Colorado forced overtime with a late score in the third period and ultimately won on a goal from Devon Toews in the extra period.

Rangers forward Chris Kreider is back from an upper-body injury ahead of their matchup against the Avalanche on Tuesday.

President's Trophy winners are in town to begin their two-game regular-season series against the Colorado Avalanche. This season, after securing the trophy for first place in the league last year, the Rangers currently sit at 25th in the league.

The Colorado Avalanche’s power play had a very bad Tuesday night, and the head coach called it the least of his worries. That’s how little Jared Bednar thought of his team’s performance — even if the result ended up being much better than the process.

The New York Rangers are still trying to figure things out, but they have been improving recently. It’ll be another challenging test when they visit the Colorado Avalanche, but it’s a matchup the Rangers have handled well over the past few seasons.
