The Rangers will adjust their special teams construction and deployment, with key focuses on replacing Chris Kreider's role on the power play. While systems themselves may not change significantly, tweaks will be made to improve effectiveness. Last season, the team's power play performance dropped from a top-three ranking to 28th, largely due to predictability and lack of movement. Despite a slight decline, the penalty kill remained effective, achieving a top-tier success rate and leading the league in shorthanded goals. Overall, the Rangers will aim for improved performance rather than fundamental system changes.
The Rangers special teams construction and deployment will undergo an overhaul, including the need for a new net-front man on the power play.
