New York Rangers Announce 2025-26 Centennial Season Schedule

The New York Rangers have unveiled their 2025-2026 NHL schedule, marking a new chapter after a disappointing 2024-2025 season that led to major changes including the hiring of new head coach Mike Sullivan and the trade of star winger Chris Kreider. The season opens on October 7 at Madison Square Garden against Sullivan's former team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, with a second meeting in Pittsburgh shortly after. The Rangers' schedule features notable home games against rivals like the Washington Capitals, Edmonton Oilers, Carolina Hurricanes, New York Islanders, and Dallas Stars, as well as important divisional matchups against the New Jersey Devils in March. The team also participates in the NHL Winter Classic against the Florida Panthers on January 2 at Miami's loanDepot Park. Despite a tough offseason, the Rangers boast a strong roster with new signings including defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov, joining core players like Vincent Trocheck, Igor Shestyorkin, Artemi Panarin, Adam Fox, and Mika Zibanejad. Fans can expect a challenging but strategically arranged schedule highlighted by a seven-game home stretch in late March and early April, as well as several high-profile reunion games and a playoff push through Florida.
