Tonight, the New Jersey Devils opened up their preseason with a split-squad night. One team was in Newark, New Jersey hosting Our Hated Rivals, the New York Rangers. One team was in Montreal, Quebec visiting the Montreal Canadiens. While the Devils held leads in both and were competitive for much of the game, they ended up losing both of them.
In New Jersey, the Devils lost in overtime to the Rangers, 3-4. The Rangers ended up matching each of the Devils’ goals. In the short 3-on-3, the Rangers had two straight attacks.
