 Sacharuk scored 14 of his goals on the road, which remains a single-season team record for defencemen.However the Blues also had several top NHL defensemen including the Bob and Barclay Plager, Bob Hess and Bob Gassoff, and traded Sacharuk back to the Rangers in the summer of 1975, in return for winger Bob MacMillan.Back in New York for the 1975–76 NHL season, Sacharuk's point production declined and he managed only 13 points in 42 games, missing almost half the season due to injury.
