The New Jersey Devils lost to the New York Rangers 1-3 tonight. It’s a good thing these results don’t count. However, the performances absolutely do and many Devils should feel disappointed with how the game went. This was not a game where the Rangers just held on and tacked on an empty netter to bolster the lead. This was a game where the Rangers were seemingly in control and the Devils just struggled to get their game going. It was disappointing, to sum it up in one word.
The numbers will suggest this was an even game. Shots ended at 31-29 in favor of the Rangers.
