Which NHL team plays its home games at Madison Square Garden? The New York Rangers do.

Madison Square Garden, commonly called MSG or the Garden, has been the Rangers’ home arena since the current building opened in Midtown Manhattan on February 11, 1968. It stands above Pennsylvania Station between Seventh and Eighth avenues and is also home to the NBA’s New York Knicks.

The present arena is the fourth venue to use the Madison Square Garden name. The first two were built near Madison Square in lower Manhattan, while the third opened in 1925 farther north. The current Garden was constructed on the site of the old Pennsylvania Station and has hosted hockey, basketball, boxing, concerts, and other major events.

The New York Islanders are another New York-area NHL team, but they play at UBS Arena in Elmont, Long Island. The New Jersey Devils play at Prudential Center, and the Buffalo Sabres play at KeyBank Center, so none of those teams use Madison Square Garden as their home.
