Author: The Daily News Now! September 18, 2026 Duration: 1:28

The Rangers dive into training camp with 48 players, 17 new faces, and a compressed schedule — just four preseason games before an expanded 84-game regular season. Head Coach Mike Sullivan is focused on mastering core concepts fast, starting September 17, to hit the ground running. Despite time pressure, offseason additions like Tolvanen, Dorofeyev, and Bjorkstrand add depth, and the roster is healthy and ready. With two years of playoff drought behind them, this team’s got a lot to prove — and they’re using every minute wisely to get there.
