Devils score four goals in just over five minutes on the way to routing the Rangers 7-1
New Jersey Devils dominated the New York Rangers 7-1 in their first matchup this season. Evan Rodrigues broke the deadlock with a goal just 29.6 seconds into the first period, setting the tone for a rapid-fire display of offense. Four goals were scored in a span of less than five minutes, as the Devils overwhelmed their cross-Hudson River rivals.
Dylan Garand, who had been impressive in his first two starts, struggled against the Devils, frequently turning the puck over and making critical mistakes. Captain J.T. Miller and defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov contributed to the Devils' victory with crucial plays, while Luke Hughes and Spencer Martin each scored twice. The Rangers, on the other hand, were unable to mount a serious challenge, finishing with their third loss in nine games.
