Thursday night’s showdown at Prudential Center between the Rangers and the Devils comes with a lot of layers.
“Just the atmosphere from Game 1 on to every game in the playoffs at MSG, it was wild, rambunctious, energized. It was everything. It was so much fun.”Neither team, however, will be at full strength.
The Devils, who turned heads earlier this season with a 13-game win streak, will likely be without Nathan Bastian.On the other hand, the Rangers have been without Ryan Lindgren for 14 of their past 15 contests as the defenseman works his way back from a shoulder injury.“We haven’t played them in a while,” said Jimmy Vesey, who played last season with the Devils.
That’s why it’ll be all the more important for head coach Gerard Gallant to keep an eye on ice times in the coming weeks. “I think you see what’s going on with our group, everybody’s playing 14, 15, 16 minutes,” Gallant said when asked about load management. “It’s working. We’re in a good spot. There’s no sense in playing people 27-28 minutes, you don’t have to do it. I like the way our forward group is going and I like the ice time for our D.
“You coach to win every game, and when you can do what we’ve done the last three weeks, it’s perfect. So I hope it happens for the next two weeks the same way.”
