The 2010s was a successful decade for the New York Rangers, led by a cadre of outstanding players
It may feel like a long lost dream, but during the past decade of NHL play, the New York Rangers were a top team in the league. From the 2010-11 season through the pandemic shortened 2019-20 season, the Blueshirts played in the post season eight times. During that time, only the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Washington Capitals had more than the Rangers’ eight appearances.
