The topic of “who will score the first goal” is always a fun conversation to have between friends. It allows people to discuss their favorite players, and who they think will light the lamp first. But who will strike first for the New York Rangers this year?
Last season it was Rick Nash, who got the Rangers season underway with the game opening goal against the St. Louis Blues. The season before that it was Marc Staal who scored a goal to tie the game against the old Phoenix Coyotes.
