    Devils Advance with Game 7 Shutout

    New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils

    (NJ wins series 4-3)

    Game Recap:

    Two words…Game Seven! That’s where we’re at tonight’s as the New Jersey Devils host their Hudson River rivals in the New York Rangers in a winner take all game to see who moves onto the next round to face off against the Carolina Hurricanes. It doesn’t get any better than a game seven with everything on the line in a win or go home situation. Both teams were feeling things out trying to see who would make the first mistake but alas, neither team did and it would be a scoreless first period.

    However, the second period is where things started to pick up between the two teams. New Jersey’s speed was a lot to handle for the Rangers as they were pinned in their own zone and New Jersey did a great job using that speed to get out of their own zone to transition into offense effectively. Using that speed paid off as the Devils got a short handed goal thanks to great huddle and effort from Ondrej Palat who took the puck to the net and then teammate Michael McLeod buried the rebound into the back of the net for the first goal of the game. Moments later, Tomas Tatar extended the lead to two as defenseman John Marino’s backhand feed from the goal line gave him the chance to rip it behind Igor Shesterkin to make it 2-0 in favor of the New Jersey Devils. That would be the score heading into an exciting and final finish of this game in the third period.

    And the third period was exciting as the Devils were able to put away their rivals thanks to a one timer goal from Erik Haula, and an empty netter from Jesper Bratt to seal the victory and shutout as they defeat the Rangers by a final score of 4-0. Akira Schmid rebounded very well with 31 saves and the speedy Devils put the Rangers on their heels all evening long giving them not very much room to work with. New Jersey advances onto round two of the Stanley Cup playoffs and will play the Carolina Hurricanes.

  • Rangers Win, Game 7 Here We Come

    Rangers Win, Game 7 Here We Come

    New Jersey Devils @ New York Rangers

    (Series tied 3-3)

    Game Recap:

    Tonight, the New Jersey Devils have a chance to eliminate their arch rivals in the New York Rangers in game six of the first round of these Stanley Cup playoffs. It’s been all New Jersey the last three games as they’ve turned this series around in their favor after being down 0-2 to start the playoffs. Speed was in full force the first period as the Devils were doing a good job hammering the Rangers in their own zone. As a result later on they would get on the board first as Curtis Lazar would put in the rebound shot from the point by Kevin Bahl to make it 1-0 in favor or the Devils. Late in the period, a tripping call would out the Rangers in the power play and saw them finally breakthrough their struggles as Chris Kreider would deflect in a shot from Mika Zabanejad at the left face off circle to tie the game up at one. That wouldn’t be the only tripping penalty as Ondrej Palat would take one with seconds to go and give the Rangers a power play to begin the second period. After the first period, the score would be tied 1-1.

    New York didn’t get the lead on that power play but, they did past the midway mark of the second period thanks to a goal from Mika Zabanejad. He received a backhanded pass into the high slot from Chris Kreider and fired a wrist shot that would beat Devils goalie Akira Schmid. Another late period goal would hurt New Jersey as Vladimir Tarasenko would fire one from the high slot to extend the Rangers lead to 3-1 heading into the third period.

    The Rangers weren’t done scoring as they struck twice in the third and final period thanks to goals from Barclay Goodrow and Braden Schneider to make it 5-1 in favor of the Rangers. Devils goalie Akira Schmid was pulled in favor of back up Vitek Vanecek. New Jersey added a late power play goal from Dawson Mercer but, at that point it was too late as the Rangers win 5-2 and force a winner take all game seven back in New Jersey on Monday night.

  • Oh Schmid! Devils Shutout Rangers and Take Series Lead

    Oh Schmid! Devils Shutout Rangers and Take Series Lead

    New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils

    (NJ leads series 3-2)

    Game Recap:

    Looking to maintain the momentum they’ve built and take a series lead, the New Jersey Devils return home to host the New York Rangers in game five at the Prudential Center. It didn’t take long for the Devils to get out in front as Ondrej Palat scored thirty nine seconds into the game to give New Jersey a 1-0 lead. Palat put in a rebound shot in the offensive zone off of a face off for the quick and early goal. Goalie Akira Schmid made some incredible saves to keep the lead heading into the second period.

    Erik Haula began his excellent night in the second period with a power play goal as he deflected in a shot from Dawson Mercer for the tip in to extend his team’s lead to two. New Jersey wouldn’t be done scoring just yet. Ten minutes later while in the penalty kill, the Rangers would cough the puck up at the point and put the Devils on a two on one chance where Dawson Mercer buried a feed from Erik Haula to make it 3-0 in favor of the Devils. It would remain a three goal lead heading into the final frame.

    Akira Schmid continued to provide excellent goaltending in between the pipes, while the Devils defense gave the New York Rangers not many options throughout the evening. You could sense the frustration from the Rangers with the lack of production throughout the entire lineup the last few games. Later on, Erik Haula added his second goal of the game and third of the playoffs with an empty net goal to seal the shutout victory as the New Jersey Devils defeated the New York Rangers by a final score of 4-0. Akira Schmid made twenty three saves to earn the shutout victory and was phenomenal all evening long. The Devils have a chance to send their Hudson River rivals packing if they can win game six on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

  • Devils Hang On and Even Series

    Devils Hang On and Even Series

    New Jersey Devils @ New York Rangers

    (Series tied 2-2)

    Game Recap:

    After getting back into the series on Saturday night, tonight the New Jersey Devils look to get things even between them and the New York Rangers at MSG. Things got a little interesting early on during a mad scramble in front of Devils goalie Akira Schmidt’s crease. Fortunately for New Jersey was able to clear the puck thanks to Jonas Siegenthaler who was able to spring Jack Hughes on a breakaway where he beat goalie Igor Shesterkin for his third goal of the playoffs. After all the early commotion, things calmed down even after both teams had power play chances with the Devils taking a 1-0 lead into the first intermission.

    Period two saw a tight and defensive minded type of period with the New Jersey Devils stifling the Rangers in particular on the power play. The Rangers couldn’t get much going with the Devils being physical as well as limiting and blocking shots. Akira Schmid was solid in net building off the good way he began in the first period. After two periods, the Devils would maintain their 1-0 lead over the Rangers with hopes of expanding on it.

    Unfortunately for the Devils, the Rangers got the score evened up thanks to a Vincent Trocheck goal which was his first of the playoffs. Trocheck scored off of a Chris Kreider rebound shot and got the goal to help his team breakthrough for the first time in this game. The scored would be tied at one for about six minutes or so until Jonas Siegenthaler got a cross ice pass and fired a beauty that would beat Igor Shesterkin to regain New Jersey’s lead. Down to the very end it would remain close until Ondrej Palat would score an empty net goal to seal the victory and make it 3-1 as well as tie the series up at two a piece. Akira Schmid made 23 saves for the Devils on the way to victory. Next up is game five back in the Garden State at the Prudential Center in Newark on Thursday night.

  • Devils Win in OT, Back in the Series

    Devils Win in OT, Back in the Series

    New Jersey Devils @ New York Rangers

    (Rangers lead series 2-1)

    Game Recap:

    With the New York Rangers having a two games to none series advantage, the New Jersey Devils are hoping to get back into the thick of things with a victory in game three as Akira Schmid takes the reigns in goal tonight, instead of Vitek Vanecek. The first period was a quiet one with no goals put up on the scoreboard. New Jersey did lead in shots on goal with nothing to show for it just like their rival Rangers. It would be tied 0-0 going into the intermission.

    Period two is where the scoring began as the Rangers would get on the board first thanks to a goal from Chris Kreider, he blasted a shot from a feed by Mika Zibanejad for a 1-0 lead. About seven minutes later, Jack Hughes tied the game for New Jersey on the power play as a fired a shot from the face off circle. After two periods, the scores would be tied up 1–1.

    For the final frame of regulation, it would remain scoreless despite the Devils and Rangers hoping to avoid overtime. However, that’s where the game headed with the score being tied 1-1. Dougie Hamilton would be the overtime hero for the New Jersey Devils at the 11:36 mark. Hamilton would receive a twister esque pass from Jesper Bratt to the right face off circle and then fire it upstairs to beat Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin to give the Devils a 2-1 victory and get them back in the series after losing the first two games at home. New Jersey looks to tie up the series at two on Monday night as the series reconvenes at Madison Square Garden in New York.

  • Rangers Dominate Devils in Game 1

    Rangers Dominate Devils in Game 1

    New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils

    (NY Rangers lead series 1-0)

    Game Recap:

    Welcome to round one of the Stanley Cup playoffs! Tonight’s matchup features the New York Rangers heading across the Hudson River to take on their arch nemesis and rivals in the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center for game one. From the get go, the Rangers set the tone early and got on the board first thanks to a goal from Vladimir Tarasenko in the slot who roofed it passed goalie Vitek Vanecek for the 1-0 lead. At the 9:30 mark, Chris Kreider created some team history as he tipped in a Adam Fox shot to extend New York’s lead to 2-0 and become the highest goal scorer in Rangers playoff history. The Devils looked good but a lack of getting shots on goal put them behind by two heading into the second period.

    The middle frame was relatively quiet with some chances traded between both sides until Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren caught the goalie down early with plenty of room upstairs and fired it in from a sharp angle. Lindgren’s goal made it 3-0 in favor of the Rangers who would take that lead into the final period.

    Midway through period three, Chris Kreider tipped in another one on the power play to extend the Rangers lead to four. New Jersey struggled scoring all night until they were awarded a penalty shot where Jack Hughes finally helped the Devils solve goalie Igor Shesterkin to end his shutout bid for his first goal of the playoffs. New York put the game away for good thanks to a Filip Chytil empty net goal and would earn the Rangers a 5-1 victory and early 1-0 series advantage in this best of seven matchup. Both teams get back at it for game two on Thursday night with the Rangers hoping to extend their series lead, while the Devils hope to even things up at one a piece.

  • Playoff Preview: Hudson River Rivalry Continues

    Playoff Preview: Hudson River Rivalry Continues

    Welcome to the Stanley Cup playoffs everyone, and boy do we have an exciting matchup for you! This series will get you very excited whether you’re from the Garden State of New Jersey, or Manhattan in New York City. This matchup features Hudson River rivals in the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers. My name is Scott, and I will have your coverage for this first round matchup of the Stanley Cup playoffs. This is going to be a very entertaining, physical, skilled, and nasty series between two teams and rivals that can’t stand the sight of each other. I’m gonna take a look at how the two teams matchup and who I think will come out on top. First, let’s recap how these two teams got here to the playoffs:

    The Official Jersey Retailer of TXHT

    New Jersey Devils

    After a struggle of a season a year earlier, the Devils and their young high end skilled talent finally broke through and significantly improved their record with a 52-22-8 record for 112pts (which set a new franchise record for wins and points). You saw top two centers Nico Hischier and the electric Jack Hughes take the next steps and put up career years to go along with Jesper Bratt having another great season, and Dougie Hamilton being a rock steady force on the back end who provided plenty of offense too. Vitek Vanecek was phenomenal after coming over in a trade with the Washington Capitals in between the pipe. Acquiring Timo Meier at the deadline from the San Jose Sharks was a godsend as he adds a physical power forward element with high end skill and scoring ability to add to a gifted young offensive team. As a result, the Devils are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2018.

    New York Rangers

    The Rangers maintained the fact that they are playoff and Stanley Cup contenders again after posting up a 47-22-13 record for 107pts. Igor Shesterkin as usual was a mainstay in between the pipes being the reigning Vezina trophy winner that he is, the “bread man” Artemi Panarin putting up points alongside Mika Zabanejad, Adam Fox, & Chris Kreider. To go along with an already all-star studded cast, Vladimir Tarasenko and the great Patrick Kane were acquired before the trade deadline with the hopes to get the Rangers back to being champions again for the first time since 1994.

    Who has the advantage? Let’s take a look:

    Speed: New Jersey Devils-it’s definitely hard to stay with guys like Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier for sure, definitely two of the leagues fastest not named Connor McDavid. The Rangers better be prepared on how to handle them or this will really hurt them.

    Goaltending: New York Rangers- Igor Shesterkin, reigning Vezina trophy winner is all that needs to be said here.

    Special Teams: Tie- it’s gonna come down to who can execute and get it done better. Both are good on the power play (slight edge to NY) but New Jersey is the better team on the penalty kill. However, the best penalty killer is your goalie and the Rangers definitely have one of the best for sure. This could go either way.

    Defense: Tie- both defense corps are pretty good. Each feature a highly skilled offensive defenseman, and really good shut down, physical, & positionally sound D.

    5 on 5: New Jersey Devils- were very balanced and didn’t rely on their power play to be their main source of offense and found ways to score plenty of goals at even strength. The Rangers can score 5 on 5 too but, they’re far more deadlier with the man advantage. With fewer penalty calls in the playoffs, this should give the Devils the advantage.

    Coaching: Tie- both Lindy Ruff and Girard Gallant have great reputations and records being coaches in the NHL. Although, Gallant has been in a Stanley Cup final more recently (with the Vegas Golden Knights), Ruff has shown why he was a mainstay in Buffalo for so long and this league too at the head coaching level. It will come down to who can get the best out of their players and push the right buttons this time of year.

    Prediction: Devils in 7 games- even though the Rangers are more playoff battle tested, New Jersey has something special going on and as they say, speed kills. The speed of the young Devils will be hard to contain and I think that’s what gives them the edge over their Hudson River rivals. Besides Hughes and Hischier, I see prized trade deadline acquisition Timo Meier being an X-Factor here too as his style of play screams playoff hockey to me.

    2022-23 Preview

    Even though the New Jersey Devils didn’t qualify for the playoffs again last season, they certainly did take big strides in setting themselves up for that next big step this season. Adding fellow Czech countrymen Ondrej Palat and Vitek Vanecek in goal will certainly help. Palat will add some more scoring and valuable leadership, while the Devils hope Vanecek can help stabilize the revolving door of goaltenders the last few years to help push and compliment MacKenzie Blackwood.

    If the Devils can get great goaltending, an overall healthy team, repeat strong performances from the core (Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, and especially Jesper Bratt), then this team certainly has a chance to knock off one of the teams in the Metropolitan to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2018. This team has a lot of young talent that is due to break out. My prediction is that this will be the year New Jersey and it’s young team will make the playoffs as one of the Wild Card teams.
