The NHL suspended the 2019-20 season on Thursday. but gave no indication about what the future holds. What happens to the rest of the New York Rangers’ season is pure speculation and directly related to the spread of COVID-19. Right now, let’s assume that the virus will have run its course and the next season will start close to on time next fall.
There are really two options for the 2019-20 season. The first is the suspended season will be resumed at some point in the next few months and the playoffs will be held and the Stanley Cup will be awarded.
