The team won 28 road games in the regular season, breaking the franchise record set the previous season. The Rangers faced the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round, winning the series in five games following an overtime winner from Carl Hagelin.

They faced the Tampa Bay Lightning, but lost the series in seven games, falling one win short from a second consecutive appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals.
