Preview: NYR @ NJD in First Preseason Game
The Rangers get their 2026-27 Preseason schedule under way tonight in New Jersey – 7:00pm EST. It’ll mark the first of four games in the abbreviated schedule that will be the norm going forward. There’s also a number of new restrictions on the number of players who can play more than two games as detailed here.
It has also been typical to see relatively inexperienced line-ups start off on the road, and that tradition along with those new constraints is a big reason why we’ll see a pretty inexperienced side hit the ice tonight in Newark.
