The New York Rangers started their 2025‑26 season with a 3‑0 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins at Madison Square Garden. The defeat came on Game 1 of an 82‑game campaign, a tough outing that could have rattled the team, but the Rangers’ management and players see it as just a first step.
The game was played in front of a crowd that watched the “blueshirts” fade on the ice for a double‑empty‑net loss. Despite the setback, the Rangers are focused on keeping the learning curve steep and staying consistent from one game to the next.
Center Adam Fox kept his comments simple and realistic. “It’s one game,” he said. “We want a better start and know how every point matters, but we can’t let the lows be too low or the highs be too high. A lot of games are coming up, so we need to respond, be better, learn from this, and play the next few games.”
In the locker room, teammates look to turn the early disappointment into fuel. The emphasis is on attitude: staying grounded after last season’s struggles while adopting a new outlook for the season ahead. The Rangers have signaled that, off the ice, they’re determined to keep the first game as a learning moment rather than a defining moment for the entire 2025‑26 campaign.
