Day: October 2, 2018

The Rangers kick off their 2018-19 season Thursday night against the Nashville Predators, and there are a handful of players who will mark new milestones with their first games of the season.

At the top of the class is Henrik Lundqvist, who is appearing in his 14th regular season on Broadway, just the ninth player in franchise history to reach that mark.  He’ll also tie Mike Richter for the most regular seasons, as well as 1970s stalwart Walt Tkaczuk.  With two more seasons remaining on his contract after this one, it’s possible that he could move into a tie for fourth all time.
