Because trailing 1-0 off a first-period, power-play goal, the Blueshirts took over the old-fashioned playoff way. They banged, they forechecked, they outmuscled the Devils and hemmed them in their own end one shift after another after another.
Goaltender Vitek Vanecek has not been nearly good enough and will likely take a seat in favor of Akira Schmid. Head coach Lindy Ruff’s decision to keep talented neophyte Luke Hughes in street clothes but instead insert Brendan Smith into the lineup in place of the scratched Jonas Siegenthaler represents a head scratcher.Want to catch a game?

Oh, there was one incident that deviated from the norm — when Shesterkin stoned Hughes just about 40 seconds before the Blueshirts struck on a shift that resembled a slice of demolition derby life. Kreider’s goals were on artful deflections, the first off a Kane wrist shot, the second off a Kane pass to the blade while No. 20 turned to the net. All those redirects that did not go in during the season are going in now. Four power-play shots, four power-play goals for No. 20.
