Game Preview

The New York Rangers seized control of the Metropolitan Division in the opening weeks of the regular season and eventually emerged from a crowded field to claim the Presidents’ Trophy.

The reward for the most successful regular season in team history raised expectations for the Rangers, who will begin their quest for a Stanley Cup on Sunday when they host the Washington Capitals in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.

New York is in the playoffs for the third straight season following a rebuild from 2018-21, and it set team highs in wins (55) and points (114) during the 2023-24 campaign. The Rangers, who have home-ice advantage throughout the postseason, waited until their final game to clinch the Presidents’ Trophy, beating the Ottawa Senators 4-0 on Monday.
