The Rangers’ scoring struggles to start the season have naturally set off some alarm bells, but Thursday night’s matchup with the Sharks at Madison Square Garden is just their ninth game of the 2025-26 campaign.
It’s early, and it’s easy to forget the team is operating under its fourth coaching staff in six seasons. That means there’s going to be an adjustment period, but even more so when you consider the key players they’ve lost over the past year in Chris Kreider, Jacob Trouba, Filip Chytil, Kaapo Kakko and K’Andre Miller.
A number of readers — including Michael Shallett, Stephen Cacace, Mike Hedgis, William Gallo, Thomas Vitiello, Drew Silvester, Gabe Lampert, Paul Collett — want to know how long the Rangers are going to wait until they starting bringing in reinforcements from AHL Hartford.
It hasn’t been the smoothest start for the Wolf Pack, either. Through their first four games, the team is 1-3 and there have been plenty of forward line changes.
