The 2020β21 New York Rangers season was the franchise's 94th season of play and their 95th season overall. Following the buyout of his contract on September 30, 2020, Henrik Lundqvist was not on the roster for the first time since the 2005β06 season. [1] Before the season, the Rangers received the first overall pick in the draft lottery of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. [2] [3] They drafted Alexis Lafreniere, who became only the second player to be drafted first overall by the Rangers, after Andre Veilleux in 1965. [4] On December 20, 2020, the league temporarily realigned into four divisions with no conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing closure of the CanadaβUnited States border. As a result of this realignment, the Rangers played this season in the East Division and only played games against the other teams in their new division during the regular season. [5]
Fan attendance in home games was prohibited until February 23, 2021, per an executive order from Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo. [6] The Rangers reopened Madison Square Garden to spectators on February 26. [7]
On March 17, head coach David Quinn and his assistant coaches, Jacques Martin, David Oliver, and Greg Brown were unavailable to coach the Rangers' game against the Philadelphia Flyers because of COVID-19 protocols and health and safety guidelines. A temporary coaching staff was called in and the team was coached by head coach Kris Knoblauch and assistant coach Gord Murphy from the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack, and the team's associate general manager Chris Drury. This was the first time in the NHL an entire coaching staff was not allowed to be in the arena to coach a game due to a pandemic. [8] The Rangers won the game 9β0, which was the largest margin of victory since March 31, 1986, when they won 9β0 against the New Jersey Devils. [9]
The Rangers scored the most hat tricks of any NHL team during the season. The players were β Mika Zibanejad (3), Chris Kreider (2), and Pavel Buchnevich (1). This was the most since the 1991β92 season when the team had eight. [10]
On May 3, the Rangers were eliminated from playoff contention after a 6β3 loss to the Washington Capitals. [11] Two days later, Rangers general manager Jeff Gorton and president/alternative governor John Davidson were both relieved of their duties by the organization. They were replaced by former Rangers captain Chris Drury who was named the new president and general manager. [12]
On May 12, the Rangers fired head coach David Quinn after the team failed to make the playoffs. [13] Assistant coaches Jacques Martin, David Oliver and Greg Brown were also fired. [14]
