New York Rangers team records: Every All-Time Leader

The New York Rangers have been in the NHL since 1926 and have never played under another name. Their record book runs the whole way, and the two most basic entries in it are three seasons old.

Rod Gilbert’s 1,021 points have stood since 1978. Brian Leetch’s 741 assists have stood since 2003. Henrik Lundqvist’s 459 wins will not be approached by anybody soon. Then the club record for wins in a season and the club record for points in a season were both set in 2023-24, which is odd for a franchise this old.

Who has the most points in Rangers history?

Rod Gilbert, with 1,021, from eighteen seasons and nothing but Rangers games.

#	Player	Points
1	Rod Gilbert	1,021
2	Brian Leetch	981
3	Jean Ratelle	817

Gilbert’s total breaks down as 406 goals and 615 assists. Leetch got within forty points of him from the blue line, which is the more remarkable of the two careers, and he holds the assist record outright with 741.

Harry Howell played more games than either of them, 1,160, and that is the oldest unbroken mark in the book. Ron Greschner has the penalty minutes, 1,226.

Who has scored the most goals for the Rangers?

Gilbert again, with 406. Jean Ratelle is second with 336, and Chris Kreider is third with 326.

Kreider’s 326 is finished business. He played his last Rangers season in 2024-25 and now plays in Montreal, where the reaction to his arrival was its own event.

What are the Rangers single-season records?

Record	Holder	Figure	Season
Goals	Jaromir Jagr	54	2005-06
Assists	Brian Leetch	80	1991-92
Points	Jaromir Jagr	123	2005-06
Points by a rookie	Mark Pavelich	76	1981-82
Penalty minutes	Troy Mallette	305	1989-90
Power-play goals	Chris Kreider	26	2021-22
Shorthanded goals	Theo Fleury	7	2000-01
Goals by a defenseman	Reijo Ruotsalainen	28	1984-85
Points by a defenseman	Brian Leetch	102	1991-92

Jagr’s 2005-06 is the outlier season in club history, and he did it at 33 in his first full year in New York. His 123 points are three clear of anything Artemi Panarin managed and fourteen clear of Ratelle’s 1971-72. His scoring against every opponent shows how evenly he spread it around. Leetch’s 102 points from defense in 1991-92 is the line that stands out beside it.

Two of these need their schedules attached. Adam Graves scored 52 goals in 1993-94, but that was an 84-game season, and Kreider’s 52 in 2021-22 came in 82.

What are the Rangers team records?

Record	Figure	Season	Games
Most wins	55	2023-24	82
Most points	114	2023-24	82
Most goals for	321	1991-92	80
Fewest goals against	65	1928-29	44
Best points percentage	.699	1970-71 and 1971-72	78
Worst points percentage	.170	1943-44	50
Longest winning streak	10 games	1940, 1973 and 2024

The 2023-24 team won 55 games and took 114 points, both club records, and lost in the Eastern Conference Final. It is not the best season in club history by the measure that accounts for schedule length: the points percentage record still belongs to the teams of the early seventies, which played 78 games.

At the other end, the 1943-44 side won six games out of fifty, which is the worst season any Rangers team has had by a distance.

The ten-game winning streak has happened three times, in the winter of 1939-40, in 1973, and in February 2024, and no Rangers team has ever won eleven.

Who holds the Rangers goaltending records?

Henrik Lundqvist holds every career measure, including fifteen seasons in which he never played for another NHL club.

Record	Holder	Figure	Season
Wins, career	Henrik Lundqvist	459	career
Shutouts, career	Henrik Lundqvist	64	career
Games, career	Henrik Lundqvist	887	career
Wins, season	Mike Richter	42	1993-94
Shutouts, season	John Ross Roach	13	1928-29
Save percentage, season	Igor Shesterkin	.935	2021-22

Lundqvist’s three career records are the safest marks in the book. Mike Richter is next on wins with 301, 158 behind, and no modern goaltender has played 887 games for one club. The rival Lundqvist named as his toughest tells you something about the era he kept goal in.

The two old marks need their schedules again. Richter’s 42 wins came in an 84-game season and Roach’s 13 shutouts in a 44-game season.

What is the best single game by a Ranger?

Steve Vickers, 18 February 1976 against Washington: three goals and four assists in an 11-4 win. Seven points, and nobody in club history has managed more than six since.

The one-game goal record is five, and only three Rangers have done it: Mika Zibanejad against Washington on 5 March 2020, Mark Pavelich in 1983, and Don Murdoch in 1976. Zibanejad’s fifth came 33 seconds into overtime and won the game 6-5.

How many Stanley Cups have the Rangers won?

Four: 1928, 1933, 1940, and 1994.

The gap between the third and the fourth is the defining fact of the franchise. Fifty-four years passed between 1940 and 1994, and it ended in game seven against Vancouver on 14 June 1994, 3-2.

Which records could fall next?

Three are in play, and none of them is a headline record.

Record	Holder	Challenger	Roughly how far
Third in career goals, 326	Chris Kreider	Mika Zibanejad	two seasons
Fifth in career points, 691	Mark Messier	Mika Zibanejad	one season
Third in career goaltending wins, 267	Ed Giacomin	Igor Shesterkin	three to four seasons

Zibanejad finished 2025-26 on 284 goals and 667 points, which puts the top three in goals and the top five in points within reach, and Gilbert’s 1,021 is nowhere near it. Adam Fox finished with 422 points and 350 assists, both far short of Leetch.

Igor Shesterkin finished on 187 wins and 22 shutouts. He is two shutouts from the club’s top four and 269 wins from Lundqvist, which is the whole point: his season was cut short by knee surgery, and that is the kind of thing that decides these lists.

Everything else in the book is effectively settled. Gilbert, Leetch, Howell, Jagr’s 123, and all three of Lundqvist’s career marks won’t be touched anytime soon, which is worth remembering while watching the Rangers chase the ones that are live.
