It’s easy for game nights leading up to the end of the regular season to lose their luster. Especially when the team has already clinched a playoff spot. However, there’s always one night in particular that stands out as an extremely special night for the New York Rangers and their fans. The night the Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award is given out acts as an emotional reminder of what it means to be a part of the Rangers community and why this team means so much to so many generations of folks.
A night where its meaning has only further amplified since the unfortunate passing of Steven McDonald in 2018, one Rangers player will be recognized for going above and beyond the call of duty.
