Prior to their game against the Winnipeg Jets, the New York Rangers held a ceremony honoring Vic Hadfield and raising his No. 11 to the rafters of Madison Square Garden. Hadfield now joins Eddie Giacomin, Brian Leetch, Harry Howell, Rod Gilbert, Andy Bathgate, Adam Graves, Mark Messier, Jean Ratelle, and Mike Richter as the 10th Ranger to have his number retired.
