The New York Rangers opened their preseason schedule this evening at the Prudential Center as they faced off against their cross-town rival, the New Jersey Devils. Here is the full goal breakdown and some quick hits from tonight’s action.
The New York Rangers found themselves trailing very early on in this game after a breakdown in coverage led to the Devils first goal. Instead of following his man in the high slot, Cody McLeod was caught puck watching and let Nick Lappin slide down uncontested. Lappin had a wide open shot at the hash marks and buried the puck over Alexandar Georgiev.
