The Rangers vs. Devils series is one of eight that kicks off the NHL postseason, and we take a look at the best bets for the first Battle of the Hudson in over a decade.
The New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils renew playoff hostilities for the first time since the Devils ousted the Rangers in Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference finals thanks to Adam Henrique’s overtime winner.
The Devils finished with the third-best record in the NHL and fourth-best since Jan. 1. Behind the indomitable Bruins, the Devils enjoyed the league’s second-best road record , fourth-best penalty kill , the fifth-best 5-on-5 goals for per 60 minutes, and second-best 5-on-5 expected goals per 60. When it comes to postseason experience, with the notable exceptions of Ondrej Palat -- who won two Stanley Cups with Tampa Bay -- Tatar, Ryan Graves, and Dougie Hamilton, most Devils players are as green as the golf courses they’re trying to avoid.
Backing the Devils or Rangers might depend on whether you focus more on analytics or the intangibles of playoff hockey. The Rangers were comparatively poor at Madison Square Garden this season, securing the 16th-best home record. However, the Blueshirts were 8-2 on home ice during the 2021-22 playoffs, a formidable record that included eight victories on the bounce.Kreider and Zibanejad are solid options for the series’ top-goalscorer honor. They both scored 10 goals in 20 games during the 2021-22 playoff run and will be instrumental if the Rangers are to prevail.
