The 2015–16 New York Rangers season was the franchise's 89th season of play and their 90th season overall. The season began its regular games on October 7, 2015, against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Regular season

  • On November 15, the Rangers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs to extend their winning streak to nine: the second-longest in franchise history. Additionally, the win surpassed eight-game winning streaks that occurred in the 2014–15 season and the 1974–75 season.
  • On January 16, Henrik Lundqvist recorded his 20th victory of the season, making him the first NHL goaltender to start his career with 11 straight, 20-win seasons. Lundqvist also joined Hockey Hall of Fame member Tony Esposito and retired goaltender Martin Brodeur as the only goalies with 11 consecutive, 20-win seasons at any point in their career. Overall, Lundqvist became the 15th NHL netminder to have won at least 20 games in a season 11 times.
  • On February 14, Lundqvist became the Rangers' all-time leader in games played by a goaltender. He surpassed Mike Richter with his 667th career appearance in a 3–1 home win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
