This is exactly what the New York Rangers were looking for.
Coming off the grittiest victory of the season in Chicago, the Blueshirts needed a more complete performance to defeat the New Jersey Devils and extend their win streak to three.
That’s exactly what Alain Vigneault’s squad did.
Lead by strong special teams and yet another shutout performance from Antti Raanta, the Rangers cruised past their Metropolitan rivals 5-0.
After Adam Henrique’s goal was called back due to Henrique kicking the puck past Raanta, the Blueshirts got on the board through Chris Kreider.
