During the off-season, the Rangers named Jacob Trouba the 28th captain in franchise history.^[2] Trouba became the first captain since Ryan McDonagh was traded during the 2017–18 season, and is also the 12th defenseman in franchise history to be named captain. He is the fourth consecutive U.S.-born player to be named captain after Chris Drury (2008–2011), Ryan Callahan (2011–2014) and McDonagh (2014–2018). Trouba served as an alternate captain the previous two years, while being lauded for his leadership abilities by previous Rangers head coach, David Quinn, and his successor, Gerard Gallant.^[3]

On March 14, 2023, the Rangers were featured in the first-ever live, animated NHL telecast called the "NHL Big City Greens Classic".^[4] ESPN, Disney Channel and the National Hockey League teamed up to showcase ice hockey to a younger audience. They defeated the Washington Capitals in a game that featured characters from the award-winning cartoon playing for both teams.^[5][6] The Rangers clinched a playoff berth on March 27, after losses by the Buffalo Sabres and Florida Panthers.^[7] In the First Round of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs, the Rangers, despite leading the series 2–0, were eliminated by the New Jersey Devils in seven games.^[8]

Head coach Gallant resigned from his duties after the Rangers' elimination from the playoffs.^[9][10]
