The rebuild begins now.
Following a rough 2024-2025 season in which the New York Rangers went a respectable but ultimately disappointing 39-36-7, the franchise cleaned house over the offseason.
First, they axed head coach Peter Laviolette; shortly after, the club traded star winger Chris Kreider to the Anaheim Ducks where he’ll play with former captain Jacob Trouba.
In Laviolette’s place steps in new coach Mike Sullivan, who comes to the Rangers from the Pittsburgh Penguins, who he led the team to a 34-36-12 record. As an added bit of intrigue, the 57-year-old was originally drafted by the Blueshirts in 1987 but held out and stayed for another season at Boston University.
On the player side, the team shelled out for star defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov, inking a seven-year, $49 million contract. He joins the team’s remaining nucleus — Vincent Trocheck, Igor Shesterkin, Artemi Panarin, Adam Fox and Mika Zibanejad — on the ice.

The regular season gets underway with a game against Sullivan’s former Pittsburgh Penguins squad at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, Oct. 7.
Other notable MSG home games to keep an eye out for include matchups against Alexander Ovechkin’s Washington Capitals (Oct. 12), Connor McDavid’s defending NHL Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers (Oct. 14), former Ranger K’Andre Miller’s always-competitive Carolina Hurricanes (Nov. 4), an interstate showdown with Bo Horvat’s New York Islanders (Nov. 8) and Mikko Rantanen’s fearsome Dallas Stars (Dec. 2).
Plus, you won’t want to miss the return of Kreider and Trouba when their Ducks hit the Garden on Monday, Dec. 15.
In 2026, they’ll take on the New Jersey Devils twice at home; those games go down Wednesday, March 18 and Tuesday, March 31.
Outside of the Garden, Sullivan’s squad will face off against the 2025 Stanley Cup-winning Florida Panthers in the NHL Winter Classic at Miami’s loanDepot Park on Friday, Jan. 2.
They’ll also meet with Aleksander Barkov’s world champs at MSG on Sunday, March 29.
“A front-loaded schedule, which features 23 road games of the first 41, will lead into a second half that includes a seven-game home stand at the end of March into early April,” The Post reported in an analysis of the schedule. “…the path back to Stanley Cup relevancy is set for the Rangers, with plenty of familiar faces to serve as frightful reminders and guide the way.”
If you want to be there, tickets are available on Vivid Seats for all recently announced home games at Madison Square Garden in 2025 and ’26.

About the New York Rangers 2024-25 season
In 2023-24, the Rangers went an impressive 55-23-4 and won the President’s Cup before squandering their season in a rough-and-tumble six-game Eastern Conference Championship series against the eventual Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.
Last year wasn’t quite the same.
Although they kicked off the year 12-4-1, the Blueshirts hit a lull and went 4-15-0, plummeting to eighth place in the Metropolitan Division. Subsequent rebounds couldn’t quite pull them out of the cellar and the club missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020-21.
