The NY Rangers left a point in New Jersey yesterday with a disappointing third period. Up 3-1 in the third, the Rangers took many (soft) penalties, allowing the Devils to tie it. The Devils then won in overtime. This really blew a great performance by Igor Shesterkin, who had his work cut out for him all afternoon. The Rangers surrendered 43 shots on goal to their 34 against Vitek Vanacek–who did not have to make nearly the same caliber of save against the Rangers shooting.
The Barclay Goodrow turnover really emphasized the sloppy play by the Rangers all afternoon.
