The New York Rangers were awarded the 2014-15 Presidents' Trophy after finishing first overall in the NHL standings—a feat the franchise hadn't accomplished since the year of its last Stanley Cup in 1994.
Ranked third in the NHL both offensively and defensively, the Rangers proved to be a balanced team that could battle through adversity, especially when goaltender Henrik Lundqvist missed nearly two months of action due to injury.
With most of the usual suspects returning for another season, coach Alain Vigneault took a positive approach when asked if the Rangers' Stanley Cup window is still open.
