NEW JERSEY DEVILS
(4)
vs.
NEW YORK RANGERS (5)
| Since the
Rangers beat the Devils en route to winning the Stanley
Cup in 1994, the teams have faced each other only twice
in post-season play -- each team won one series.
The Rangers beat up on the
Devils during the regular season, winning seven of their
eight match-ups, with Scott Gomez and Chris Drury
leading the pack.
The Devils are going to
need to find a way to get the puck past Henrik Lundqvist
if they want to win this series. Martin Brodeur will do
all he can in the New Jersey crease, but if the Devils
can't find a way to score goals, they'll be golfing in a
few weeks.
Sean Avery is going to
try and get in everyone's face, and that's something the
Devils are going to have to worry about. He'll get under
their skin and throw them off their game.
If/once that happens,
look for the Rangers to try and take advantage of New
Jersey's frustration. |
