New York Rangers Captain Ryan McDonagh To 2016 NHL All-Star Game & A Look Back At The Blueshirts’ Past Representatives
The NHL All-Star Weekend has arrived, and for the first time will be played in Nashville, Tennessee.
While the New York Rangers organization typically sends at least two-to-three players to represent the Broadway Blueshirts, team captain and defenseman Ryan McDonagh will be the team’s only representative in the Music City.
For the first half of the 2015-2016 campaign the Rangers’ captain’s numbers are as follows; the American born D’man has six goals and 18 assists for 24 points; is a plus-10 on the year; and has also chipped in two power-play goals for New York.
McDonagh will also take part in two events for the NHL Skills Competition on Saturday night. The Bridgestone Arena will get to witness No. 27 participate in the One Timers Challenge (For Left-handed shooters) and the Discover NHL Shootout, in the second round.
The Garden Faithful will be able to enjoy their team’s captain play in the all-star game Sunday and dawn a jersey for the Metropolitan Division. But, let’s take a look back at the New York Rangers past 16 years of NHL All-Star representatives…which even dates back to the last time Madison Square Garden played host for annual event.
