After falling in time beyond regulation to Dallas of their previous game, the Rangers got here through with a much-needed 3-2 win in time beyond regulation over the Devils on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Rangers were searching for some redemption against their rivals from Recent Jersey after being outscored 10-1 by the Devils of their previous two meetings.
They got it on Sam Carrick’s game-winner with 2:12 to go in OT off a feed from Reilly Smith.
Mika Zibanejad had a likelihood to win it earlier in OT, but couldn’t get off shot on a breakaway midway through the period.
The victory helped make up for a pair of ugly defeats to the Devils, probably the most recent of which was followed by the Devils mocking the Rangers on social media, comparing the Blueshirts to a dumpster fire.
With Igor Shersterkin back in net after missing the prior 4 games with an upper-body injury, the Rangers put up a a lot better fight on Thursday.
They entered having dropped 11 of their previous 15 games, in addition to 17 of 23, while the Devils had lost 4 of 5.
The Rangers took the lead at 12:05 in the primary period because of a power-play goal from Adam Fox, who wound up and fired it past Jacob Markstrom.
It was Fox’s first non-empty-net goal of the season and got here off a faceoff win by Vincent Trocheck.
Shesterkin was strong, making 11 saves in the primary period, although the Devils nearly took an early lead when Nico Hischier deflected a Luke Hughes shot and it got by Shesterkin, but hit off the crossbar.
The Rangers also killed a pair of penalties within the opening period after the Devils went 5-for-8 with the additional man in the primary two meetings.
The Devils tied the sport at 1-1 early in the primary period when Jack Hughes scored his sixteenth goal of the season — and fifth in three games against the Rangers — knocking in a deflection off a shot by Brett Pesce at 4:03.
Shesterkin stopped a point-blank shot by Dawson Mercer later within the period, but Jesper Bratt beat Shesterkin at 8:28 to place the Devils up, 2-1.
That got here after the Rangers blew a shorthanded breakaway that may have given them the lead midway through the second period, as Smith dropped it to Trocheck, whose shot missed the web.
The Rangers tied it at 2-2 at 17:13 of the second with their second power-play goal of the night, an Artemi Panarin goal that got here off a rebound from a Zibanejad shot.
It was Panarin’s seventeenth goal of the season.
The Rangers had a flurry of activity in front of the Devils’ net early within the third and had the primary eight shots of the period, but couldn’t capitalize.
Shesterkin stuffed Mercer on a shorthanded breakaway midway through the third.
The Devils controlled much of the motion within the latter a part of the third before Trocheck was stuffed late within the period.
