New Jersey Devils
The New Jersey Devils got a win that they desperately needed by claiming Game 3 over the New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden. New Jersey’s defense finally showed up to play in this series in that Game 3, allowing just one second period goal before scoring in overtime to claim a 2-1 win. In Game 4, a similar defensive performance will be needed for the Devils to even this series at two games apiece.
For New Jersey, the biggest question going into this game is whether or not they are capable of sustaining such a high level of intensity for another 60 minutes. After playing like their hair was on fire defensively last time out, a letdown performance is certainly possible in this contest. But the Devils cannot afford one of those if they want to avoid a massive 1-3 hole.
New York Rangers
The New York Rangers had a golden opportunity to take a 3-0 series lead against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday. All they needed to do was score two goals to win that game, but they could not find a second goal, and come into Monday’s action with a 2-1 series lead instead. But the Rangers insist they are confident heading into Game 4, where they can take a 3-1 lead.
A huge reason for that confidence is the play of Igor Shesterkin in goal and the play of their defense in front of him. The Rangers have given up just four goals in three games in this series so far. Another defensive gem in Game 4, combined with some better offensive play, could send the Rangers to a commanding 3-1 lead in this best of seven affair.
