On Thursday, the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils played in game two of four straight “Hudson River Rivalry” matchups. The Rangers should sweep this series if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
They got the job done in the first game when several players had milestone moments, but would have to keep the same energy moving forward.
No changes were made to the lineup including Igor Shesterkin remaining in net after recording his first career shutout.
1st period: 3-0 just in the first this time
The Rangers made it 3-0 in the third period of Tuesday’s game, but they scored three and conceded nothing in just the first period on Thursday.
