Founded in 1926, New York Rangers are a National Hockey League team based in New York, New York. Now entering their 80th season, the NY Rangers have a history that includes hosting renowned hockey player Wayne Gretsky for many years, winning 2 conference championships, 5 division championships, and winning the Stanley Cups four times (in 1928, 1933, 1940, and 1994).
This season every skater led by head coach Tom Renney on New York Rangers roster is working hard to improve their power play. At their best, the NY Rangers roster players have played a style where their forwards are committed to supporting the defense, which means that the defensemen can be aggressive enough to join the play on the rush and also sustain pressure. That’s how goals are scored at even strength these days, and as the NY Rangers have shown in spots—the back-to-back wins over the Islanders and Ottawa—they can do it quite effectively.
