The speculation about Jack Eichel refuses to go away, or even quiet down for a while. The Buffalo Sabres captain has been the subject of trade rumors for months, and on his first visit to Madison Square Garden this season, Rangers fans made it known they want in.

Chants of "We want Eichel’’ broke out a few times throughout the game from the crowd of 1,800 Tuesday night, during the game in which the Rangers got off to a quick start and beat the Sabres, 3-2, to close out their three-game homestand.
