First Period The Rangers scored in the first, as the Devils failed to get the puck out of the zone despite two Devils taking Artemi Panarin high in the zone. The Rangers worked the puck low, forcing Blackwood to make a couple stops before moving it back out to Jacob Trouba, who blasted it past Blackwood. 1-0, Rangers. The Rangers then took a penalty less than a minute later, as Pavel Buchnevich went off for high sticking. With Kuokkanen and Sharangovich replacing Zacha and Bratt, the Devils had a good chance early on a netside Kuokkanen shot. However, the Devils failed to do much following th...

The professionals in charge of the broadcast and the team have come to call this Rivalry Week. I have dubbed this run of games with a more accurate term: The Week of Hate.

The Devils manage to get close in the game or even tie it up.

Despite many promising performances from the Devils’ young forwards, they fell short today, as unlucky bounces and suspect defense led to a 6-4 Penguins victory. The Devils scored the first goal of the game, after a faceoff win led to a Jesper Bratt shot which hit DeSmith in front of the net. Miles Wood, showcasing his physicality against Kris Letang, was able to find the puck loose in the slot and deposit it past DeSmith for the 1-0 lead.

The new Zajac line started the game, and they were unable to get anything going on offense - but also did not give up any shot attempts. The McLeod line generated the first good chance s of the game, as a shot thrown by Ty Smith created a rebound, and Michael McLeod turned and shot the loose puck on goal. Travis Zajac got the first score of the game, firing a one-timer from the high slot off ...
