The New York Rangers are gearing up for the 2024 NHL season with aspirations of building on their record-breaking performance from the previous year. Finishing the regular season with an impressive record of 55-23-4, the Rangers topped the Metropolitan Division and secured the Presidents' Trophy, boasting the best points total in the league at 114.
Despite a heart-wrenching exit in the conference finals against the Florida Panthers, where they held a 2-1 series lead but lost three consecutive games, the Rangers are determined to maintain their core lineup. They are bringing back 28 of the 35 players from the regular season and 19 of the 23 who participated in the playoff run.
With a star-studded forward line, highlighted by Artemi Panarin, and a robust goaltending presence, the Rangers are poised for another deep playoff challenge. Fans can tune in to every game on WEPN-FM - ESPN New York 98.7 FM, the team's flagship station, or through SiriusXM for broader coverage across the U.S. and Canada.
This season also marks a significant transition for the Rangers, as legendary broadcaster Sam Rosen will conclude his tenure as the voice of the team. Kenny Albert is set to take over play-by-play duties for select matches, marking the end of an era for Rangers' fans.
