The 2014β15 New York Rangers season was the franchise's 88th season of play and their 89th season overall.
The Rangers clinched their third Presidents' Trophy and eighth division title by finishing with the best record in the NHL at 53β22β7. The 53 wins and 113 points both set franchise records (which were both surpassed by the 2023β24 team). The 113 points marked the eighth time in franchise history that the team had reached the 100-point plateau. The division title was the Rangers' first in the Metropolitan Division, which was created during the NHL's realignment in the 2013 offseason. The team won 28 road games in the regular season, breaking the franchise record set the previous season.
The Rangers faced the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round, winning the series in five games following an overtime winner from Carl Hagelin. In the second round, the Rangers took on the Washington Capitals, winning the series in seven games after initially trailing three games to one. The season marked the third time in four years that the Rangers reached the Eastern Conference Finals. They faced the Tampa Bay Lightning, but lost the series in seven games. They were the most recent Presidents' Trophy winners to advance past the second round of the playoffs until the 2023β24 team. [2]
The Rangers used their second compliance buyout on center Brad Richards on June 20, 2014. [3]
On September 24, center Derek Stepan suffered a fractured fibula during on-ice fitness testing, meaning the Rangers would need to start the season without their number one center for four-to-six weeks. [4]
At the conclusion of training camp, Anthony Duclair was named the 2014 winner of the Lars-Erik Sjoberg Award for being the best Rangers rookie in training camp. Duclair, a third round draft pick in 2013, turned heads in camp by scoring in three-straight pre-season games. Duclair was also the only teenager to score five points or more during the pre-season. [5]
On October 6, defenseman Ryan McDonagh was named the 27th captain in New York Rangers history. Dan Girardi, Martin St. Louis, Marc Staal and Derek Stepan were named alternate captains. [6]
On October 14, 2014, in a loss to the New York Islanders, Rick Nash established a franchise record by scoring a goal in each of the team's first four games of a season. [7]
On December 27, the Rangers beat the New Jersey Devils 3β1 to extend their winning streak to eight in a row, which was the longest win streak by the Rangers since the 1974β75 season. [8]
The Rangers became the first team to clinch a playoff spot on March 26 with a 5β1 win over the Ottawa Senators with 101 points. [9] It is the eighth time in franchise history the team has reached the 100-point mark.
On April 2, 2015, the Rangers clinched the Metropolitan Division title with a win over the Minnesota Wild, 3β2. This win also made it their 26th road win of the season, a franchise record.
On April 4, 2015, the Rangers defeated the New Jersey Devils 6β1 for their 50th win of the season. This was the fourth time in franchise history that the Rangers achieved a 50-win season.
On April 7, 2015, the Rangers defeated the New Jersey Devils 4β2 to clinch the Presidents' Trophy, the third in franchise history. This win also made it their 27th league-leading road win. [10]
On April 11, 2015, the Rangers beat the Washington Capitals 4β2 to win their 53rd game with 113 points. This was their most wins and points scored in franchise history, which were both surpassed by the 2023β24 team. [11]
In the first round of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, the Rangers played the Pittsburgh Penguins and won the series in five games. The series winner occurred in Game 5 in overtime from Carl Hagelin. [12]
In the second round of the Eastern Conference Semi-finals, the Rangers played the Washington Capitals and won the series in seven games. In Game 5, Chris Kreider tied the game with 1:41 left in regulation, and Ryan McDonagh won it in overtime. In Game 7, Derek Stepan scored an overtime winner, making him the second Ranger to score a Game 7 overtime winner after StΓ©phane Matteau did so in Game 7 against the New Jersey Devils. [13] During the second round, the Rangers set an NHL record in which 14-straight playoff games were decided by one goal. They also became the first team in NHL history to battle back from a 3β1 deficit in back-to-back seasons. [14]
In the third round, the Rangers played the Tampa Bay Lightning, but lost the series in seven games including two shutouts at home. With the Game 7 loss, it was the first time the Rangers have lost a playoff Game 7 at Madison Square Garden. [15]
After the playoff loss, head coach Alain Vigneault revealed that McDonagh was playing with a broken foot throughout the playoffs. [16] Additionally, Mats Zuccarello also suffered a serious brain contusion and concussion after taking a hit in the head from a shot by McDonagh. [17]
