When the Rangers acquired Nash, they felt that he was the piece that would take them over the hump. Prior to debuting on Broadway, Nash had already scored 40 goals twice for the Columbus Blue Jackets and put up 30 the year prior to joining the Blueshirts.
He led them to the Stanley Cup Finals in the 2013-14 season and the Eastern Conference Finals in 2014-15. Despite those accomplishments, the team and Nash never reached their goal, winning a Stanley Cup. The Rangers also named him alternate captain prior to the start of the 2016-17 regular season.
Regular Season
It took time for Nash to grow accustomed to playing in a big market like New York City.
