Rangers Schedule December 2026: Three Games Against the Devils

The New York Rangers play the New Jersey Devils three times in December 2026, starting Monday, Dec. 7, at 7 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) at Madison Square Garden (MSG), according to the National Hockey League (NHL) club schedule. The Rangers have 14 games in the month, seven at home and seven on the road, and the first is Thursday, Dec. 3, against San Jose.

The source is the NHL’s club schedule feed for the Rangers, read Nov. 10, 2026. It gives each start in UTC. We converted the times to ET, which is New York time, and calculated the weekdays. The feed lists broadcasters and they can change. A one-page printable follows the table.

Rangers game times and TV for every December game

MSG Networks is the Rangers’ regional outlet; the feed lists its MSG, MSG 2 and MSG Sportsnet (MSGSN) channels for the Rangers’ games. Turner Network Television (TNT), truTV and HBO Max carry the game at Philadelphia nationally in the U.S. Sportsnet, Sportsnet+ and Télévision Quatre-Saisons (TVA) Sports are Canadian networks. “None listed” means the feed shows nothing in that column.
