Mike Richter of the New York Rangers
What happened on January 22 in the history of the New York Rangers
On this date in 1994, a magical season continue for the New York Rangers and for Mike Richter in particular. It might have been a coincidence, but the All-Star Game was played in New York City at Madison Square Garden and it was Richter who was named the MVP.
Richter was one of four Rangers on the East Conference roster, joining starters Mark Messier and Brian Leetch and backup Adam Graves.
