The 2025-2026 New York Rangers season under first-year coach Mike Sullivan did not meet expectations. The team struggled with major absences, including losing Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin for a significant stretch. Early offense problems also contributed to poor results. The Rangers missed the playoffs for a second consecutive year. Despite the overall disappointment, there were notable highlights that provided entertainment and signs of potential. Taylor Raddysh recorded a hat trick against San Jose. J.T. Miller scored an overtime goal against Edmonton. Will Cuylle followed with an overtime goal against Seattle in the next game. Noah Laba scored his first NHL goal.

"Luckily, there were moments through the 2025-2026 Rangers season that were actually cool to witness, along with the possibility of hope for the immediate future. Taylor Raddysh hat trick versus San Jose J.T. Miller's OT goal versus Edmonton Will Cuylle's OT goal versus Seattle (the very next game!) Noah Laba's first NHL goal"
