- Sustainability Rangers Rants | Bergen Record Home on a wind-blown flight from Atlanta. Bumpy landing but, otherwise, not half as bad as I expected given today’s weather in this area. The Rangers’ flight home last night was delayed so they’ve pushed back their practice until 2 p.m. We’ll have an update from the skate as the Rangers face another “do-or-die” - Henrik Lundqvist’s words - game tomorrow hosting the Flyers. The players were optimistic after last night’s convincing 5-2 win at Atlanta that they could sustain this momentum in their now-desperate playoff push. Coach John Tortorella was more subdued, saying he saw plenty of things...

- Next up: Carcillo and Co. Rangers Report | Journal News OK, so the Rangers beat a lousy team and a lousy goalie in a game they kind of needed. Next up: You know who.

- Swept away - 03-13-10 Empty Netters | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette For some reason, this seemed like a good stat to bring up. The Penguins are on the verge of being swept in their season series against Devils. Should Martin Brodeur (above) and New Jersey pull out a win in their re-match Wednesday, they will be the first team to have swept a season series of four or more games against the Penguins since the dreadful 2005-06 campaign.

- Martin Brodeur working his way back into form; Paul Martin with Devils on Long Island Fire & Ice | Bergen Record The Devils “rock bottom” came—they hope—in Sundays’ 2-0 loss to the last-overall Oilers in Edmonton. For goaltender Martin Brodeur, however, it was two nights earlier in a 5-3 loss in Calgary. After giving up four of the five goals on rebounds, Brodeur admitted he was “fighting the puck” and needed practice. In the week since then, he has gotten back to looking like a future Hall of Famer. He was one of the few Devils to play well in Edmonton, making 33 saves. Then, though he gave up three goals on 19 shots in Wednesday’s 6-3 win over the Rangers, all three goals came on terrible defensive-z...
