The New York Rangers will take on the New York Islanders in the 2024 NHL Stadium Series at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
For the Rangers, history is on the table. They are 4-0 in their outdoor games and with a win over the Islanders, they would become the first team to ever win five straight in such a setting.
Given the unique nature and location of the game, the Rangers ordered up new goalie helmets and drew inspiration from their surroundings.
Jonathan Quick will honor New York Giants legends Lawrence Taylor and Michael Strahan with a beautiful airbrush.

Taylor is, of course, the greatest defensive player of all time — someone who revolutionized the game of football and how offensive game plans are designed.
Strahan was a game-changing defender in his own right, holding down the defensive end position for the Giants over a span of 15 years. He set the all-time single-season sacks record with 22.5 in 2001 (later tied by T.J. Watt).
Combined, Taylor and Strahan have three Super Bowl rings and four NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards.
