The Rangers today announced they would not bring coach Ron Low back for a third year.  Low, who’s contract expired with the Rangers failure to make the post-season for the fifth straight season, leaves the Rangers after two years and a 69-81-9-5 record.

New York struggled during Low’s tenure on both defense and specialty teams.  giving up 290 and 258 goals respectively.  The Penalty Kill finished last in the league this season and many attributed the failure of the Rangers to keep the goal out of their net to the coaching staff.
