SAN JOSE, Calif. — The California Memory Tour rolled on for the Rangers.
Following a 3-1 loss to the Kings on Tuesday night, the Rangers left Los Angeles, the scene of their 2014 Stanley Cup final heartbreak, and headed north to find out that former Devils coach Peter DeBoer had been fired as the head coach of the Sharks. They were set Thursday night to get the first look at the Sharks under interim head coach Bob Boughner.
DeBoer coached the Devils when they beat the Rangers in the 2012 Eastern Conference final, a series that was the beginning of the Blueshirts taking close runs at the Stanley Cup, but never quite going all the way.
