First off the site as you can see is undergoing a rebranding as the Prospect Park is now the Rangers Prospect Report. The change is to try to help grow this place as the costs of covering the prospects keep rising.
Friday saw nine of the New York Rangers in counting games and one in an exhibition game. It seems strange to be playing exhibition games at this point of the season.
Tonight’s Star
Malcom Spence had a goal as his top-ranked Michigan Wolverines defeated Notre Dame 5-2 in a Big Ten conference matchup. In the second with the teams playing “4-on-4”, Spence scored his eighth goal of the season.
The freshman left wing received a pass right in the slot firing it past the Notre Dame goalie at 1:39 of the second.

But Spence needs to have more than just one shot in a game if he is to become more effective. For the season, he is now 8-3-13. Same two teams on Saturday as Michigan improved to 17-4 (8-3 Big Ten).
