Earlier today, Alex wrote about rivalry games will matter for the New Jersey Devils as the 2018-19 regular season winds down. This afternoon, the New Jersey Devils offered a rebuttal. At the home of Our Hated Rivals, the New Jersey Devils flopped against the New York Rangers in a 2-5 loss. The game was effectively over after an awful first period by the Devils. Both goals by the Devils were consolation goals. Whatever “heat” that comes from scrums, beefs, battles, and scraps all seemingly went against the Devils. This was a bad game by any standard and it stings even more as it was a rivalry game.
