New York Rangers aware of trade noise; Patrick Kane given maintenance day

If you were wondering about the New York Rangers possibly being a little distracted with the trade rumblings about Patrick Kane, wonder no more.

“I can’t say no, it always does,” Gerard Gallant admitted on Friday. “It’s tough on some players, but at the end of the day you’re trying to make your team better. It’s going to be over in a week’s time. You’ve just got to focus on playing the games.”

The Rangers lost to the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 last night, and looked like their heads may have been elsewhere.
