NEWARK — Adam Fox’ first-period power-play goal and third-period shorthanded goals by Mika Zibanejad and Jesper Fast powered the Rangers to a 4-0 victory over the Devils in their Saturday afternoon encounter at the Prudential Center.
Alexandar Georgiev, starting his first game in goal since the wild 6-5 win over Montreal a week ago, made 26 saves in earning his third career shutout for the Rangers, who won for the fourth time in their last five games (4-0-1).
The Rangers (13-9-3) were leading, 2-0, when Chris Kreider was ejected from the game after checking Devils defenseman Matt Tennyson into the back boards.
