Every season comes with new challenges and scenarios. However, along with those challenges, also come new achievements and milestones. What milestones could be reached by the New York Rangers in 2018-19?

Some players may hit that elusive goal mark they have been hunting for, or perhaps notch that 500th career assist. There are a few players looking up the milestone charts, looking to reach that new plateau or overtake a fellow athlete. A new coach at the helm, the New York Rangers will have many opportunities to demonstrate their skills to the league.

Some players with new contracts have much to prove, their livelihood riding on this seasons performance, while others, already established, look to further their legacy.

A team as young as the Rangers does not come across major milestones often, but every milestone counts, especially when it is involved in a win.  There is nothing quite like getting that puck from the trainer at the end of the game to celebrate a great achievement.
