New York Rangers
After taking a 2-0 lead in their first round series against the New Jersey Devils, the New York Rangers dropped three games in a row to fall behind 3-2. But they won a must-win Game 6 in order to force Game 7 here against the Devils. Now, the question is whether the Rangers can get one more road win in this series to advance to the second round.
The Rangers have already spoken about bringing an air of desperation into this series deciding Game 7 in New Jersey. Their mental fortitude has allowed the Rangers to go 6-1 when facing elimination since 2022. But in a hostile environment in one of the biggest rivalries in the sport, it will be interesting to see how the Rangers respond in this specific situation.
New Jersey Devils
It has been an up and down series for the New Jersey Devils in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. After falling behind 0-2, they stormed back to take a 3-2 lead, but failed to close the series out in New York in Game 6. Now, the Devils are at home where they hope to buck a trend in the first round of these playoffs in Game 7s.
On Sunday, we saw the Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche both get eliminated at home in their respective Game 7s as convincing favorites. While the Devils are not nearly as big a favorite in this game, another loss by a home team in a Game 7 would send them packing.
