The New Jersey Devils will welcome the New York Rangers to Prudential Center for an NHL game on Thursday. The Toronto Maple Leafs won 1-3 in their last game over the Rangers. The New Jersey Devils are suddenly brimming with confidence. Getting two close wins on the road after opening their playoff series with a pair of lopsided losses at home will do that.
Jonas Siegenthaler scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period, Akira Schmid had 22 saves in another shutdown start and the Devils beat the New York Rangers 3-1 Monday night to even their first-round playoff series at two games apiece. Jack Hughes and Ondrej Palat also scored for New Jersey. “That was a massive win for us,” Hughes said. “That was a really good 60-minute game out of us, too. We’re really happy with that. A lot of resiliency.”
“They took two in our building so we wanted to come in here and even the series up,” Hughes said of a Devils team that was third in the NHL with 28 road wins during the season, behind only Boston (31) and Colorado (29). “We’ve been a really good road team all year. We’re going to bring that same effort and come back and have a really good Game 5 at home.”
The New York Rangers on the other hand lost 1-3 against the Devils in their last game. The Rangers won the first two games by identical 5-1 margins before the Devils pulled out a 2-1 win in overtime on Saturday night. Vincent Trocheck scored for the Rangers, and Igor Shesterkin stopped 20 shots. New York has totaled just two goals in the last two games after scoring five each in the first two. “Very disappointing,” Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said. “Not even close to good enough. … It was real disappointing to watch that.”
Game 5 is at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Thursday night, with Game 6 back at MSG on Saturday night. Game 7, if necessary, will be next Monday night on the Devils’ home ice. “We have to get back and play the way we play, trust ourselves,” the Rangers’ Mika Zibanejad said. “It’s a best of three now.”
