Opening night of the 2025-26 NHL season is in sight, just five days away. But the New York Rangers still have work to do in the preseason, beginning with a home game Thursday against the New Jersey Devils.
It’s one of two contests remaining on New York’s preseason schedule, with a Saturday matinee in Boston against the Bruins also on the docket. The games are important since Mike Sullivan and Co. must decide on the final makeup of the roster, and get players familiar with new systems and one another.
The Rangers (2-1-1) are coming off a 3-2 overtime win against the Islanders on Monday.
