Gonchar Nets Winner; Aspinall Extends Scoring Streak Just two New York Rangers prospects in action on Sunday, both in the Ontario Hockey League. Gonchar Earns First Star Sudbury defenseman Artem Gonchar earned first‑star honors in a 5–3 win over Kingston on Sunday. He broke a 3–3 tie with 1:07 left when his wrist shot from the right point slipped under the goalie’s glove. The goal was his 13th of the season and his second game‑winner.

Rangers Prospects: Aspinall Shines, Greentree Extends Streak Eight New York Rangers prospects played on Saturday as several NCAA players closed their regular seasons.

Greentree’s Hat Trick Leads Strong Night for Rangers Prospects Eleven New York Rangers prospects played Friday, and the night delivered a hat trick, a three‑point effort and playoff clinchers. It was the kind of response Rangers fans needed from their pipeline. Greentree’s Hat Trick Leads Windsor Windsor captain Liam Greentree recorded his second hat trick of the season in a 6-1 win over London. The OHL’s first star of the night continued his surge after scoring twice on Thursday.

Aspinall Leads Firebirds Back to First in OHL West Only three New York Rangers prospects were in action Sunday, on a day that was supposed to feature a marquee OHL matchup between Nathan Aspinall’s Flint Firebirds and Liam Greentree’s Windsor Spitfires. Greentree was sidelined by illness, a loss that proved costly for Windsor. The game carried major implications in the OHL’s West Division race, with first place on the line and both teams trying to close ground on conference‑leading Kitchener.

Rangers Prospects Quiet Again in Saturday Action Another day brought no offense from the nine New York Rangers prospects in action Saturday. Only one player produced points, and both were secondary assists. North Dakota defenseman E.J. Emery had both assists in a 6–4 win over St. Cloud State. He set up North Dakota’s second goal and the game‑winning fifth goal. The two assists marked a career best for the sophomore defender.

Rangers Prospects Struggle Offensively as Regular Seasons Wind Down Friday night looked a lot like the New York Rangers’ season: not enough offense. Nine prospects played, and the organization produced only one goal and one assist. It’s the wrong time of year to go quiet. NCAA teams have three or fewer weeks left. Canadian junior clubs have fewer than 15 games remaining. All 12 Rangers prospects are on track for the playoffs, but several may only get one game.

I spent a lot of time at the NCVMC watching the Nets. I was a fan of Billy Paultz AKA The Whopper until Julius Erving joined the Nets and I was hooked. There was some great talent in the ABA that never got their respect. George Gervin, Artis Gilmore, Louie Dampier, and Roger Brown.

Greentree’s Three‑Point Game Leads Rangers Prospects Five New York Rangers prospects were in action across the CHL on Monday as teams in Ontario and Prince Edward Island played afternoon games for “Family Day” and “Islander Day.” Greentree Stars in Windsor Rout Windsor captain Liam Greentree earned first‑star honors with a two‑goal, three‑point performance in the Spitfires’ 7–1 win over the Saginaw Spirit in OHL play. Greentree opened his scoring in the second period, cutting across the zone from the right boards before ripping a shot that beat the Saginaw goaltender cleanly for his 26th of the season.

Forgive me but three months after my father passed away, I got to see the greatest miracle on ice. A bunch of kids beat the Soviet machine in the Olympics.
That is why I won't watch the NHL pros in the Olympics because I like watching miracles happen

Larsson, Emery, Boilard and Greentree Lead Rangers Prospect Performances on Saturday Four New York Rangers prospects scored on Saturday as nine players across college and junior hockey saw action. Three of the goals opened their respective games, and the fourth came as an early insurance marker. Rasmus Larsson scored his first goal of the season as Robert Morris defeated Niagara 5–1 in Atlantic Hockey play. The sophomore defenseman opened the scoring with a point shot for his first point in 14 games.

Henricks’ Three‑Point Night Highlights Rangers Prospects Eight New York Rangers prospects produced a mixed but eventful night across the NCAA, OHL, and QMJHL, with several players snapping slumps, extending scoring streaks, and factoring into key wins as the organization continues to track development across its thin pipeline. Ty Henricks snapped a six‑game goal and pointless drought with a three‑point night as No. 4 Western Michigan rolled past Arizona State 6–2 in NCHC play.

Why Rangers should consider selecting Chase Reid in 2026 NHL Draft Making the case for why the New York Rangers must seriously consider selecting defenseman Chase Reid with their first of two first-round picks in the 2026 NHL Draft.

Aspinall And Greentree Share First Star Honors A very busy Friday evening saw all 12 New York Rangers prospects in action. Sadly we only saw production out of three of them as two earned first star honors. First Star Nathan Aspinall Flint Firebirds (OHL) Nathan Aspinall sent a message that he plans on remaining as the top Rangers prospect. The captain of the Flint Firebirds had a 2-1-3 performance to lead the Firebirds to a 5-1 win over the Soo Greyhounds.

Would you believe that Liam Greentree got an abuse of official misconduct in his first game as a Rangers prospect? Does Chris Drury know how to pick them or what?

And in true Ranger's fashion but in his first game as a Rangers prospect Laim Greentree was given a misconduct in the third period tonight for abuse of an official.

I am just dying of laughter at those begging Chris Drury to trade all the Rangers for draft picks.

Do you really want Drury to make those draft picks

Sorry NHL but give me yesterday's outdoor game at Beaver Stadium over another Florida snore fest.

I would say it was Drury not Dolan as Dolan doesn't care what NYR fans think as he expects them to be blindly loyal and addicted to big star names. I say it is Drury because it was a terrible idea to pull on the fans too

Eight Assists No Goals With ten New York Rangers prospects in action on Friday, we saw eight assists but no goals. But considering how little production we have seen in recent weeks, this was a needed improvement. OHL Nathan Aspinall earned third star of the game honors as his Flint Firebirds lost in overtime to Evan Passmore's Barrie Colts 6-5. It was a matchup of OHL division leaders as Passmore's Colts defeated the Firebirds for second time in the last 15 days.

Rangers Prospect Report 1/25/26 Sunday hockey for three New York Rangers prospects and like yesterday it was super quiet. Just a secondary assist from the Rangers prospects in terms of production. QMJHL Raoul Boilard earned the only point of the day as his Cape Breton  Eagles lost via the shootout to the Charlottetown Islanders 4-3. Boilard earned a secondary assist on the Eagles third goal, a power play goal which at the time gave them a 3-2 lead.
