Matchup Overview

The trip to Canada was forgettable to say the least, with the New Jersey Devils dropping each of their three games by a score of 6-3. The rival New York Rangers, however, come into this one still clicking on all cylinders. It certainly won’t be an easy, but some home cooking may be just what the Devils need to get back in the win column.

Key to the Game:

Solving the Rangers’ Goalie Early

It’s no secret that the New York Rangers have had arguably the best goaltending in the league this season. This very easily can lead to players getting frustrated the longer the game goes without a goal being scored. Possibly resulting in players squeezing their sticks a bit tighter and looking for the perfect play every trip down the ice. Goaltending played a major factor in the previous matchup, and expectations are that it will play a pivotal role again.

Tonight’s game will be televised on MSG and MSG+2. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 PM at Prudential Center.
