Rangers Dominate Devils with Strong Performance at Madison Square Garden

It has been a frustrating season for the New York Rangers, especially at Madison Square Garden. Yet, the Blueshirts unleashed that pent-up anguish Tuesday night. That in turn allowed their fans to enjoy a pretty one-sided 4-1 Rangers win over the rival Devils, and a third-period goalie fight between Igor Shesterkin and Jacob Markstrom.

It was one of New York’s most complete efforts from start to finish, particularly since New Jersey entered with three wins in their past four games and had dominated the Blueshirts in their two previous meetings this season. “When you play a divisional opponent like [the Devils] there’s a storied rivalry there, and so when you have a spirited game like that and you win in your home building, it’s a good feeling,” Rangers coach Mike Sullivan said afterward .

“I’m happy for the players and also you get a sense of what the Garden is like when you compete hard and the fanbase values and they appreciate your work ethic and your competitive spirit out there. We certainly felt that tonight. ” Rangers took it to Devils on Tuesday Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images This game will be remembered for Shesterkin pummeling Markstrom after the Devils goalie skated the 200 feet to take on the Rangers star netminder in the third period.
