BEST RANGERS

As an Original Six franchise, the Rangers have a long and storied past. New York has 52 former players in the Hockey Hall of Fame. One is the Rangers all-time leader scorer – Rod Gilbert. The first Ranger to have his number (No. 7) retired, Gilbert scored a franchise-best 406 goals and 1,021 points. Despite 18 NHL seasons, all with the Rangers, Gilbert never won a Stanley Cup.

Only five NHL defensemen have scored 100-plus points in a season. The Rangers Brian Leetch is one of them. He won the Calder Trophy as the league’s Rookie of the Year in 1989 and his 23 goals that season is still an NHL rookie record for defensemen. Leetch played 18 seasons for the Rangers and is second on the franchise’s scoring list with 981 points. His 741 assists are the best in Rangers’ history.

Third on the Rangers all-time scoring list is another Hall of Famer, Jean Ratelle. In 16 seasons with the Rangers, Ratelle scored 817 points. Along with Gilbert, Ratelle was a member of the Rangers’ GAG line (Goal-a-Game).
