Charlotte Checkers

The 2000–01 New York Rangers season was the franchise's 75th season. The Rangers compiled a 33–43–5–1 record in the regular season, finishing in fourth place in the Atlantic Division. New York's 10th-place finish in the Eastern Conference left it out of the 2001 Stanley Cup playoffs; it was the fourth consecutive season the team missed the postseason.

The season saw several new faces join the team. Glen Sather, the longtime Edmonton Oilers executive, was brought in to be team president and general manager. Ron Low was hired as the team's head coach. Former team captain Mark Messier returned to the Rangers after spending the previous three seasons with the Vancouver Canucks and resumed his place as team captain.

Regular season

The Rangers allowed the most goals during the regular season, with 290. They also scored the most short-handed goals, with 16.
