The game ends with a 30-28 edge in shots for the Devils, who handled the Rangers at all ends of the ice. They got more physical play and better scoring chances. They also shut down some of New York's most talented young guns and made Henrik Lundqvist look foolish. This was the game they needed in front of their fans.
No one is out of this series by any means, but the Rangers need to come back on Wednesday ready to play a full 60 minutes at Madison Square Garden. They were slowed down in much of the first and only showed life during the second period and the final minutes of the third. There are high expectations on this team, and a half-hearted effort like this is unacceptable.
