Rangers Milestones on the Horizon

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
On June 12th, all right, let's talk about some milestones brewing for the New York Rangers in the 2026-27 season.
Head Coach Mike Sullivan is set to hit his 1000th game behind the bench on opening night. A huge accomplishment. He's already surpassed 500 wins. So while 600 might be a stretch next season, his job security into 2027-28. Seen solid. Meanwhile, Mika Zibanejad is looking at a potential hat trick of personal achievements. After already reaching 1000 career games and setting a franchise record for power play goals, he's on the cusp of joining the 300 Goal, 400 assist and 700 point clubs. That's a serious level of greatness he'd be entering. And then there's Igor Shesterkin. Despite some tough seasons lately, he's still on track to chase down Henrik Lundqvist's legacy.
He's currently at 187 wins and could become the sixth Rangers goalie to reach 200 wins next season.
If Shesterkin can maintain his current pace for wins over the remaining eight years of his contract, he'd tie Lundqvist's 15 year tenure. That means averaging at least 34 wins a season, which is a tall order given the team's current retooling phase. It's going to be a season of significant personal achievements for some key players, even as the team navigates a rebuilding period.
