There's just one game left to close out the first round, as the New Jersey Devils host the New York Rangers. Igor Shesterkin and Akira Schmid are in between the pipes. New Jersey got going in the second period with a Michael McLeod shorthanded goal, set up by Ondrej Palat. The Devils added on with a Tomas Tatar goal, assisted by John Marino and Nico Hischier. New Jersey extended the lead in the third period as Erik Haula scored his fourth of the postseason, thanks to Jack Hughes and Palat. The Devils iced it at 4-0 with a Jesper Bratt empty net goal, set up by Marino. The three stars were Schmid (31 save shutout), Palat, and Marino. The Devils won the series 4-3 and will face the Hurricanes in the second round.
