“Let’s Go Devils!” and “Let’s Go Rangers!” chants echoed throughout the Prudential Center during the opening 30 seconds Thursday night, setting the stage for a heated matchup between the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers.
The New Jersey Devils routed the New York Rangers 7-1 on Thursday night at Prudential Center in the season's first Hudson River rivalry clash. Goaltender Nico Daws earned his first victory of the season as New Jersey commanded the game from the start. Luke Hughes scored twice, while Evan Rodrigues started a four-goal barrage in just over five minutes late in the first period to put the game out of reach.
The Rangers struggled defensively, resulting in starting goaltender Dylan Garand getting pulled in favor of Spencer Martin after the Devils' scoring surge. Pavel Dorofeyev provided a lone bright spot for New York, while Rangers captain J.T. Miller described the team as disconnected during the blowout loss.
