GREENBURGH, N.Y. – The decision by the NHL to halt games between Canadian and U.S.-based teams for the moment meant that the Rangers will get to start their Christmas break early, with practices Monday and Tuesday and then nothing until they report again to their practice facility next Monday for their morning skate in preparation for their home game that night against the Detroit Red Wings.
