For the first time since April, the New York Rangers will take the ice as the home team on the island of Manhattan. Following an offseason in which every possible rumor spread, the team hired a new coach and selected three times in the first round, the team is ready to hit the rebuild running.
There are plenty of familiar faces that will don the Ranger blue, but the faces that won’t tell the story. Just three players, Marc Staal, Jesper Fast and Henrik Lundqvist remain from the team that went to the Stanley Cup final back in 2014.
