The 2025-2026 New York Rangers season under first-year coach Mike Sullivan did not meet expectations. The team struggled during stretches that included losing key players Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin for significant time. Early-season offense problems contributed to poor results. The Rangers missed the playoffs for a second consecutive year, marking another disappointing outcome. Despite the overall downturn, there were notable moments worth watching, including a 7-3 win over Tampa Bay, a 6-2 victory over the Bruins in Boston on Black Friday, and an overtime game-winning goal by Vladislav Gavrikov against the Stars. JT Miller also delivered an overtime goal to complete a comeback versus the Canadiens at MSG, offering hope for the near future.
"While not to the levels of depravity from the previous season, the 2025-2026 Rangers season didn't go as expected for first-year coach Mike Sullivan and the New York Rangers. Whether it was losing Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin for a huge chunk of time, or the lack of offense that burned them early on in the season, or missing the playoffs for a second consecutive year, it was not a good time."
"Luckily, there were moments from the Rangers 2025-2026 season that were actually cool to witness, along with the possibility of hope for the immediate future.
