The 2010–11 New York Rangers season is the New York Rangers' 84th season in the National Hockey League. The franchise is celebrating 85 years since its establishment in 1926, for which purpose the team will wear a special retro third jersey in select games throughout the season.

Pre-season

After an off-season of speculation and rumors, the Rangers waived veteran defenseman Wade Redden on September 25. By waiving Redden, the Rangers will rid themselves of his large salary and have more flexibility to sign players under the current salary cap.[1]

Regular season

The Rangers won their first game of the season, on October 9 at Buffalo. Derek Stepan had a hat trick in the 6-3 win, becoming only the fourth player in NHL history to record a hat trick in his first career NHL game.[2]

On November 12, 2010, the Rangers unveiled their 85th anniversary Heritage "third" jersey at an event at Rockefeller Center.[3] The Rangers wore the jersey for a game for the first time on November 17 against the Boston Bruins.

Three Rangers participated in the 2011 NHL All-Star Game. Marc Staal and Henrik Lundqvist played in the main game, and rookie Derek Stepan took part in the SuperSkills Competition.

Playoffs

The New York Rangers will attempt to make the playoffs after missing the playoffs last season, the first time since the lockout.
