The New York Rangers have been around for almost 100 years and they’ve had some of the best players in NHL history come through their ranks, such as Phil Esposito, Jean Ratelle, Barry Beck, and Brian Leetch. They’ve also had some great brother and father-son combinations like the Cooks, the Hextalls, the Maloneys and the Patricks. Not to mention Mark Messier, Mike Richter, Henrik Lundqvist, and Wayne Gretzky, among others.
With that being said, cracking the top-20 all-time goal-scoring list with this legendary franchise steeped in tradition is no easy feat. Below is the list of those prestigious 20.
20. Anders Hedberg
Anders Hedberg played 7 seasons with the Rangers, tallying 172 goals in 465 games. He was one of the first European players to defect to North America to play professional hockey. He landed with the Winnipeg Jets, then of the World Hockey Association (WHA), along with fellow Swedes Ulf Nilsson and Lars-Erik Sojdberg in 1974.
