One year ago, the Rangers played what turned out to be the final game of their 2019-20 season in Denver, where Pavel Buchnevich’s goal with 13 seconds left in regulation earned them a point in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Colorado Avalanche on March 11, 2020.

The next day, March 12, the NHL announced it would pause its season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
