Gallant stayed at the top of the Blueshirts for just two seasons.
He helped the team advance to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning last year.
A native of Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Rangers signed in 2021 after winning a gold medal with the Canadian team at the Ice Hockey World Championships.
Gallant was the head coach of three other teams in the National Hockey League: the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Florida Panthers, and the Vegas Golden Knights.
He led the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup Finals in their maiden NHL season in 2017-18.
