The week started off on Halloween night where the Rangers had a moment of silence for the victims of the terrorist attack in NYC earlier in the day.

It’s A Power Play Goal
The Rangers scored three power play goals in 10 chances last week. The team is currently ranked 10th in the National Hockey League.
Who’s Hot
Kevin Shattenkirk is playing like the player he is known for. Shattenkirk scored the OT winner to give the Rangers a 5-4 win. He has scored two goals and recorded four assists in his last four games (the Rangers are 3-1 in those games).
Who’s Not
Jimmy Vesey, who has one goal in his last five games. He also is even or minus in the past five games. He just seems to be a step behind, but don’t count him out as he is a strong player who will skate himself back on to the score sheet.
Fines
Kevin Hayes was fined $5,000 for squirting water at Tampa Bay’s Alex Killorn. Take a look at the bizarre play.
