The Rangers don’t have to look very far for the blueprint for closing out this now-tied first-round playoff series against the Devils.
In Games 1 and 2, in which they outscored the Devils 10-2, the Blueshirts looked more prolific than they have all season long. It was two of the most complete performances the Rangers have turned in all year, especially since all of the trade-deadline acquisitions arrived.
There was drive to their game, disciplined control in all areas and an explosive offense that few teams can keep up with. They made smart decisions with the puck, while also taking the right amount of offensive risks. “They were perfect games,” head coach Gerard Gallant said of the start to the series after the Rangers’ series-tying 3-1 loss Monday night at the Garden. “We said that and we talked about that. We come home and big crowds.
Taking away Ondrej Palat’s empty-netter for the Devils on Monday, Games 3 and 4 were both one-goal affairs for a majority of the night and tied in the third period. Despite the fact that— especially in Game 4 — both games were still very much winnable for the Rangers.
