Who scored the most points in a single season for the New York Rangers? Who scored the most goals in a single season for the New York Rangers? The answer to both questions is Jaromír Jágr
On Jan. 23, 2004, the New York Rangers executed a modest trade with the Washington Capitals, bringing Jaromír Jágr to Broadway in exchange for Anson Carter. After three seasons in the nation’s capital, Jágr needed a change of scenery to revitalize his career, and there’s no grander stage in the NHL than Madison Square Garden.
Statistically, by the time he came to New York, Jágr was already going to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer with two Stanley Cup rings, five scoring titles, one Hart Trophy, and two Ted Lindsay Awards.
