The New York Rangers (NYR) are a professional ice hockey team based in New York City, New York, USA. They play in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Rangers and their crosstown rivals, the New York Islanders, are both members of the NHL's Atlantic Division, guaranteeing plenty of regular season meetings. This is unique among New York City's major league sports teams; Major League Baseball's New York Yankees and New York Mets are in different leagues, as are the National Football League's New York Jets and New York Giants, giving them little opportunity to play each other. Jaromir Jagr broke the Rangers' single season points record with a first period assist in a 5-1 win against the New York Islanders on March 29, 2006. The assist gave him 110 points on the season breaking Jean Ratelle's record. Less than two weeks later on April 8th Jagr scored his 53rd goal of the season against the Boston Bruins, breaking the team record previously held by Adam Graves. Finally, on April 4 the Rangers defeated the Philadelphia Flyers in a shootout 3-2 to clinch a playoff spot for the first time since the 1996-97 season. On April 19, the Rangers lost to the Ottawa Senators 5-1 and due to wins by divison rivals New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia Flyers, the Rangers fell back to third place in the Atlantic Division to end the season. In the Eastern Conference Quarter Finals the Rangers drew a matchup with the New Jersey Devils and were defeated in a four game sweep. In the process they were outscored 17-4. In the first game of the series Jaromir Jagr suffered an undisclosed injury to his left shoulder, diminishing his usefulness as the series went on. Jagr missed game 2 of the series and was back in the lineup for game 3. He was held to 1 shot on net. On his first shift of the game in game 4, Jagr re-injured his shoulder and was unable to return.
