Today in Rangers History 10/9:
1952: Gump Worsley makes his Rangers debut against the Detroit Red Wings.
1974: The Rangers play the Washington Capitals for the first time, and come away with a 6-3 victory at MSG.
1986: Ron Greschner becomes the 20th captain in Rangers history.
1991: Kris King and James Patrick score four seconds apart in a 5-3 Rangers win over the Islanders at MSG.
It is the quickest time between two Rangers goals in franchise history.
1997: The New York Rangers become the first team in NHL history to start its season with four consecutive ties.
They set the record with a 1-1 tie against the Calgary Flames at the Saddledome. The Rangers are outshot 28-14, but Pat LaFontaine's goal 7:03 into the second period and 27 saves by Jason Muzzatti enable New York to earn a point.
2010: Derek Stepan records a hat trick in his NHL debut.
Stepan becomes just the fourth player to do so, in a 6-3 Rangers victory over the Buffalo Sabres.
