Dave Maloney Named Rangers TV Analyst for 2025-26 Season

Dave Maloney, former New York Rangers captain and longtime radio analyst, has been named the new TV color analyst for the Rangers on MSG Networks, starting with the 2025-26 NHL season. He will join play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert in the television booth, reuniting the duo after 20 years working together on the Rangers' radio broadcasts. Maloney replaces Joe Micheletti, who retired following the 2024-25 season, while Albert succeeds the retiring Sam Rosen, the team's longtime TV play-by-play voice. Maloney expressed excitement about the new role, especially as the Rangers approach their 100-year franchise anniversary, and reflected on his first broadcasting experience during the 1981 playoffs alongside Marv Albert, noting the full-circle moment of now working with Marv's son, Kenny. MSG Networks praised Maloney's passion, hockey insight, and chemistry with Albert, emphasizing the smooth transition as both broadcasters move from radio to TV. The move represents a significant shift in Rangers broadcasting, honoring the legacy of the departing commentators while maintaining continuity through Maloney and Albert's established partnership.
