2017–18 New York Rangers season
National Hockey League season
The 2017–18 New York Rangers season was the franchise's 91st season of play and their 92nd season overall. This season saw the Rangers struggle with inconsistency for much of the season, with the team going 4–7–2 in October. Despite going 9–3–0 in November, the team's struggles would be amplified in later months with injuries to Mika Zibanejad , Chris Kreider and Kevin Shattenkirk , the latter of whom had season-ending knee surgery. After winning the 2018 Winter Classic over the Buffalo Sabres , the team would go 6–16–2 up to the trade deadline. On February 8, the Rangers announced their intention to rebuild, and then weeks later traded away many key players such as Ryan McDonagh , Rick Nash , J. T. Miller , Nick Holden , and Michael Grabner . They also acquired Rob O'Gara , Vladislav Namestnikov and Ryan Spooner . The Rangers ultimately missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2009–10 season, placed last in the Metropolitan Division and finished under .500 for the first time since the 2003–04 season. At the conclusion of the 2017–18 season, head coach Alain Vigneault was fired by the team.[ 2]
