The Rangers have formally announced that Ryan McDonagh will be the 27th captain in New York Rangers history. The Rangers were without a captain following the trade of Ryan Callahan and the buyout of (more or less) acting captain Brad Richards. Naming McDonagh captain was the worst kept secret in the organization, as it was widely expected this summer.

Marc Staal, Dan Girardi, Martin St. Louis, and Derek Stepan will be the alternate captains.

Thank you Bob Gainey, Scott Gomez, and all those involved in the Gomez for McDonagh swap.
