The 2000-01 New York Rangers season was the 75th season for the team in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Rangers compiled a 33-43-5-1 record in the 2000-01 season, finishing in fourth place in the Atlantic Division. New York's 10th-place finish in the Eastern Conference left it out of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The season saw several new faces join the team. Glen Sather, the longtime Edmonton Oilers executive, was brought in to be team president and general manager. Ron Low was hired as the team's head coach. Former team captain Mark Messier returned to the Rangers after spending the previous three seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, and resumed his place as team captain.
