The New York Rangers sit at 4-1-0 after navigating five games in eight days. We compare this hot start to last season's opening-month debacle, highlighting zero first-period goals allowed and Chris Drury's summer retool.
The New York Rangers have opened their 2026-27 NHL regular season with a 4-1-0 record, earning eight points across their first five games. This strong start marks a dramatic turnaround from the prior season, in which the team suffered through scoring droughts and finished with a disappointing 14-20-7 record.
