New Jersey Devils looking for fourth straight win against New York Rangers
With three straight wins, the young New Jersey Devils seized the momentum in their first-round series against the New York Rangers.
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers also each have a chance to advance with a win in Game 6 on Saturday. “We didn’t get too down after the two losses, you can’t get too high after the win,” Devils coach Lindy Ruff said. “You have to be ready to put it behind you.” But the Rangers know they can even the series again with a win back home. During their run to the Eastern Conference final a year ago, they won five elimination games – coming back from a 3-1 series deficit against Pittsburgh in the first round and a 3-2 deficit against Carolina in the second round.
“We’re just confident with our group,” Toronto defenceman Morgan Rielly said. “We’re here for a reason. We’ve played good hockey. We knew that they were going to come out and play hard. ... We didn’t expect them to roll over, didn’t expect it to be easy. Now it’s important for our group to refocus go on the road with a mission.”
“We can’t get too high on ourselves,” Oilers forward Nick Bjugstad said. “That squad is good over there. They’ve shown they’re pretty resilient too. ... You’ve got to have a short memory if you lose and I think it’s the same if you win. You’ve just got to have a new-day mentality.”
