The 2011–12 New York Rangers season will be the National Hockey League franchise's 85th season of play and their 86th season overall.[1]

Off-season

On April 11, 2011, it was announced that the Rangers will open the 2011-12 NHL season in Stockholm, Sweden on October 7, 2011 against the Los Angeles Kings, and on October 8 against the Anaheim Ducks as part of the 2011 NHL Premiere.[2]

On May 13, Rangers forward Derek Boogaard was found dead in his apartment. Boogaard had played in 22 games for the Rangers during the 2010-11 season after signing a four-year deal with the Rangers in the previous off-season.[3]

On June 29, Rangers captain Chris Drury's contract was bought out.[4][5]

On July 2, free agent Brad Richards signed a nine-year contract worth almost $60 million with the Rangers. Richards had been considered to be the top free agent of 2011.[6][7]

On August 4, Sean Avery was arrested at his home in Hollywood Hills for battery on a police officer after pushing an officer that was trying to break up a party at Avery's home.[8]

On September 12, the Rangers announced that Ryan Callahan would be the 26th captain in New York Rangers history.[9] Brad Richards and Marc Staal were named as alternate captains.

On September 26, the NHL officially announced that the Rangers would face the Philadelphia Flyers on January 2, 2012 in the 2012 NHL Winter Classic at Citizens Bank Park, the home of the Philadelphia Phillies.[10] As part of the Winter Classic festivities, the Rangers will be featured in HBO's 24/7 series.[11]
