Recent New York Rangers news has been pretty good for the team, as they have bounced back from a recent slump.

With the NHL season nearing the All-Star break, there has been plenty of New York Rangers news as we head toward the break. Here is the latest news surrounding the Rangers.

Rangers’ Nicklas Jensen has higher skill by George Ruggiero of BlueLineStation.com

"Following the New York Rangers’ many injuries, a fair few forwards that primarily play in the AHL have taken roles with the big club. Nicklas Jensen was traded to the Rangers for Emerson Etem in 2016. Since then, Jensen has been playing for the Wolf Pack, proving his worth on the top two lines."

Lundvist shines against Detroit Red Wings by Bob Duff of UPI.com

"Lundqvist won two straight since a personal three-game losing streak but the Red Wings proved the perfect elixir for what has ailed him. Lundqvist is 6-1-1 with four shutouts in his last eight games against Detroit."

Kevin Hayes to be examined on Monday by Steve Zipay of Newsday

"Center Kevin Hayes, who played only 8:41 Sunday and was walking stiffly with a brace on his left leg in the visitors’ locker room at Joe Louis Arena afterward, will be examined in New York on Monday."

Rangers’ Pavel Buchnevich finding his stride in first NHL season by Joshua Kloke of SI

"That “normal” could very well be a first-line ceiling for the Rangers. With impressive speed and skill, Buchnevich has found chemistry with linemates Mika Zibenejad and Rick Nash. The trio has combined for 12 points in the Rangers’ last four games—Buchnevich has two goals and four assists in that span. If the Blueshirts want to continue as one of the best scoring teams in the league, Buchnevich and his linemates will be depended on."
