New York Rangers 2025-26 tickets: Schedule, prices, dates
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The rebuild begins now. Following a rough 2024-2025 season where the New York Rangers went a respectable but ultimately disappointing 39-36-7, the franchise cleaned house over the offseason. First, they axed Head Coach Peter Laviolette; shortly after, the club traded star winger Chris Kreider to the Anaheim Ducks where he'll play with former captain Jacob Trouba. In Laviolette's place steps in new coach Mike Sullivan who comes to the Rangers from the Pittsburgh Penguins where he led the team to a 34-36-12 record. As an added bit of intrigue, the 57-year-old was originally drafted by the Blueshirts in 1987 but held out and stayed for another season at Boston University. On the player side, the team shelled out and signed star defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov to a seven-year, $49 million contract. He and fellow new signees Derrick Pouliot, Trey Fix-Wolansky and Justin Dowling join the team's remaining nucleus — Vincent Trocheck, Igor Shestyorkin, Artemi Panarin, Adam Fox and Mika Zibanejad — on the ice. The regular season gets underway with a game against Sullivan's former Pittsburgh Penguins at NYC's Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, Oct. 7. Other notable MSG home games to keep an eye out for include matchups against Alexander Ovechkin's Washington Capitals (Oct. 12), Connor McDavid's defending NHL Western Conference champs Edmonton Oilers (Oct. 14), former Ranger K'Andre Miller's always-competitive Carolina Hurricanes (Nov. 4), an interstate showdown with Bo Horvat's New York Islanders (Nov. 8) and Mikko Rantanen's fearsome Dallas Stars (Dec. 2). Plus, you won't want to miss the return of Kreider and Trouba when their Ducks hit the Garden on Monday, Dec. 15. In 2026, they'll take on the New Jersey Devils twice at home; those games go down Wednesday, March 18 and Tuesday, March 31. Outside of the Garden, Sullivan's squad will face off against the 2025 Stanley Cup-winning Florida Panthers in the NHL Winter Classic at Miami's loanDepot Park on Friday, Jan. 2. They'll also meet with Aleksander Barkov's world champs at MSG on Sunday, March 29. 'A front-loaded schedule, which features 23 road games of the first 41, will lead into a second half that includes a seven-game home stand at the end of March into early April,' The Post reported in an analysis of the schedule. '…the path back to Stanley Cup relevancy is set for the Rangers, with plenty of familiar faces to serve as frightful reminders and guide the way.'

About the New York Rangers 2024-25 season In 2023-24, the Rangers went an impressive 55-23-4 and won the President's Cup before squandering their season in rough and tumble six-game Eastern Conference Championship series against the eventual Stanley Cup champion Florida Pathers. Last year wasn't quite the same. Although they kicked off the year 12-4-1, the Blueshirts hit a lull and went 4-15-0 plummeting them to eighth place in the Metropolitan Division. Subsequent rebounds couldn't quite pull them out of the cellar and the club missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020-21.

Could Utah host an outdoor NHL game?
Fireworks explode during the Star-Spangled Banner before the NHL Winter Classic outdoor game featuring the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues at Wrigley Field, Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024, in Chicago. | Erin Hooley, Associated Press If you thought the 16,000-seat Delta Center got loud at hockey games this season, wait until the Utah Mammoth play at Rice-Eccles Stadium. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman spoke at a press conference inside the Delta Center on Wednesday, where, among many other things, he discussed Utah's potential to host an outdoor game. Advertisement While speaking on how 'crazy' it seemed for Smith Entertainment Group to leave the team name voting up to the fans, Bettman stated that the NHL '(does) crazy pretty well,' mentioning the two outdoor games to be played in Florida next year as examples. 'Florida?' shouted a voice from the crowd. 'We'll have one here, too,' Bettman responded. 'We've already done a site visit.' Once the discussion was opened up to media questioning, he provided more details. 'I believe we can pull all the things together that need to be pulled together,' he said. 'Just up the road, there's a nice stadium. We have to schedule these things a little bit in advance, but it's on our radar.' Advertisement The building to which he's referring is likely Rice-Eccles Stadium, where the University of Utah plays its football games. It holds 51,444 people for football, and those numbers typically don't change much when stadiums host hockey. Fans cheer during the national anthem before the NHL Winter Classic hockey game played outside at Wrigley Field. | M. Spencer Green, Associated Press Once the Florida Panthers play the Winter Classic next season, the Mammoth will be the only active franchise to have never participated in an outdoor game. Would they be able to sell alcohol at an outdoor NHL game in Utah? Most conversations about a potential outdoor game in Utah included a question about how they would be able to sell beer. Neither Rice-Eccles Stadium nor LaVell Edwards Stadium, where BYU plays, permit alcohol sales. Advertisement The league ran into this issue at the 2019 Winter Classic at Notre Dame Stadium. At the time, the school did not permit alcohol sales — but it made an exception for the NHL. The University of Utah does allow the sale of alcohol at some on-campus events with approval from a vice president, so perhaps the NHL could get an exception. It comes with a word of caution, though: Notre Dame Stadium ran out of food and alcohol early in the game. The NHL would be wise to over-prepare this time around — especially with the amount of beer Utah hockey fans consumed at the Delta Center this season. How do outdoor NHL games work? Outdoor NHL games typically use football or baseball stadiums. The league has a pair of portable rinks that it can set up virtually anywhere, so there's no need to alter the field in any permanent way. These games are about much more than the two points in the standings available to the competing teams: They're spectacles for both the fans and the players to enjoy. Advertisement The 2025 Winter Classic between the Chicago Blackhawks and the St. Louis Blues featured a fan festival, interactive games, opportunities for fans to take pictures with the Stanley Cup and a pop-up shop replicating Wayne Gretzky's childhood basement. Participating teams usually introduce special edition jerseys for outdoor games. It would be the perfect chance for the Mammoth to unveil a powder blue jersey. Teams have also made it tradition to walk into the game in matching costumes, often based on a local culture or industry.

Swanson hits tiebreaking single in 4-run eighth as the Cubs beat the Rangers 10-6
Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) — Dansby Swanson lined a tiebreaking two-run single in Chicago's four-run eighth inning, and the Cubs beat the Texas Rangers 10-6 on Tuesday on another frigid night. The Cubs blew a 6-3 lead before taking advantage of two errors in the eighth and closing out their seventh win in eight games. They had the bases loaded when Swanson singled to right against Chris Martin (0-1). Pete Crow-Armstrong added a two-run single against Hoby Milner on a 35-degree night. Swanson homered leading off the second against Patrick Corbin. He also hit a sacrifice fly in a three-run fifth against Jacob Webb. Seiya Suzuki and Pete Crow-Armstrong each had three hits and two RBIs. Jameson Taillon pitched six innings of three-run ball, and Porter Hodge (1-0) got four outs for the win. Wyatt Langford homered for Texas. Josh Jung had three hits after being sidelined since March 28 because of neck spasms. But the Rangers lost their second in a row after winning five straight. Corbin went four innings in his Texas debut, allowing three runs and five hits. The 35-year-old left-hander signed with the Rangers three weeks ago. Key moment Chicago's Ian Happ reached on a two-base error leading off the eighth when Leody Taveras misjudged his fly to deep center. Martin intentionally walked Kyle Tucker with one out. The Cubs loaded the bases when third baseman Jung misplayed Jon Berti's grounder before Swanson's big single. Key stat The gametime temperature of 35 was only one degree warmer than the previous night, which was the coldest game at Wrigley Field since 2011. By comparison, it was 38 when the Blackhawks played the St. Louis Blues in the NHL Winter Classic on New Year's Eve. Up next The three-game series wraps up on Wednesday. The Rangers are sending Tyler Mahle (1-0, 1.35 ERA) to the mound, and the Cubs are going with Shota Imanaga (2-0, 0.98 ERA). ___ AP MLB: recommended
