Don Marshall Madison Square Garden IV The 1967–68 New York Rangers season was the franchise's 42nd season.
The season was significant for its move from the third Madison Square Garden to the fourth. The Rangers played their last game in the old Garden on Sunday afternoon, February 11 (the day of the official opening of the fourth Garden) when they tied the Detroit Red Wings 3-3. The next Sunday, February 18, the Rangers played their first game at the new Garden, a 3–0 win against the expansion Philadelphia Flyers. In all the Rangers played fourteen of their forty home games at the new Garden, including three playoff games against the Chicago Black Hawks. The Rangers became the first Original Six team to leave their old arena for a modern arena; it would be another eleven years before another of the original six (the Detroit Red Wings) would move to a modern arena.
