New Jersey cut its series deficit to 2-1 when Dougie Hamilton scored 11:36 into overtime on Saturday and the Devils won 2-1. Akira Schmid had 35 saves for the Devils and he is likely to start again tonight as a replacement for Vitek Vanecek. New York still has the edge though as Igor Shesterkin has been effective all season with a 37-13-5 record and 2.48 goals-against average and he has allowed more than two goals only once his past 10 starts. The Rangers still have won 12 of the past 17 meetings, including five of the past seven at home. New York has won 19 of 28 home games and the Rangers are 9-4 their past 13 games playing with one day of rest and they have bounced back to win six of eight overall after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. The OVER is 10-3-1 the past 14 meetings at New York and the Rangers have gone OVER nine of 10 conference quarterfinal games. New Jersey is 5-1 OVER after allowing two or fewer goals its previous gaem. Take the Rangers and OVER.
