Last week, the New Jersey Devils opened their preseason with two games and a split squad between them. In Newark, New Jersey, they played the New York Rangers. They lost 3-4 in overtime. Tonight, the New Jersey Devils played their final preseason game and their last hockey game on the East Coast at Madison Square Garden against the Rangers. They lost 3-4 in overtime again. That is about where the similarities end between both games.
This game was a disappointment in that the Devils went down 1-3 less than a minute into the third period, tied it up, and had some glorious chances in overtime to end it.
