The 2025-2026 New York Rangers season under first-year coach Mike Sullivan did not meet expectations. The team faced major setbacks, including losing key players Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin for a significant stretch. Early struggles with offense also contributed to poor results. The Rangers missed the playoffs for a second consecutive year. Despite the overall disappointment, there were notable moments that were enjoyable to watch and offered some optimism. Highlights included Gabe Perreault scoring his first NHL goal against St. Louis, JT Miller scoring an overtime goal against St. Louis, a 7-3 win over the Capitals in Washington, D.C. before the Christmas break, and Mika Zibanejad’s hat trick leading the Rangers to a Winter Classic win in Miami.
"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 didn't suck and were actually cool to witness, along with the possibility of hope for the immediate future."
