}}The 2000–01 New York Rangers season was the 75th season for the team in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Rangers compiled a 33–43–5–1 record in the 2000–01 season, finishing in fourth place in the Atlantic Division.[1] New York's 10th-place finish in the Eastern Conference left it out of the Stanley Cup playoffs.[2] The season saw several new faces join the team. Glen Sather, the longtime Edmonton Oilers executive, was brought in to be team president and general manager.[3] Ron Low was hired as the team's head coach.[4] Former team captain Mark Messier returned to the Rangers after spending the previous three seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, and resumed his place as team captain.[5] {{TOClimit|limit=2}}Regular seasonThe Rangers allowed the most goals during the regular season, with 290. They also scored the most short-handed goals, with 16.[2] Final standings{{2000–01 NHL Atlantic Division standings |team=NYR}}{{2000–01 NHL Eastern Conference standings|team=NYR}}Schedule and results| 2000–01 Game Log |
