| | | NEW JERSEY: LAST SEASON: 32-36-14, 78 points. Failed to make the playoffs
for a third straight year.
COACH: John Hynes (first NHL season)
ADDED: C Kyle Palmieri, C Pavel Zacha, RW Lee Stempniak, C
Sergey Kalinin, D John Moore, C Jiri Tlusty.
LOST: General manager Lou Lamoriello, F Steve Bernier, F Scott
Gomez, F Michael Ryder.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Adam Henrique: At age 25, Henrique is no longer
the young kid. He's become the face of the Devils' franchise and
a team leader. He was the team's leading scorer with a paltry 43
points. He's coming off wrist surgery, but says he's fine.
Whether that means he's ready to gain All-Star status is another
thing.
OUTLOOK: The Devils cleaned out the Lamoriello era and brought
in Ray Shero to be the general manager and an unproven Hynes to
be the head coach. However, they really didn't do much to their
roster, especially in terms of finding a goal scorer or two.
Mike Cammalleri's 27 goals were nice last year, but there were
too many times that the team depended on goalkeeper Cory
Schneider to keep them in games. Hynes said that his new
philosophy will lead to more scoring chances, but that remains
to be seen. Even he admits it's "a work in progress." But this
doesn't have the look and feel of a playoff team. The Devils
will likely make it four straight years without a playoff
appearance, an unfathomable idea for a franchise that went to
the playoffs 16 straight years. | | NY RANGERS: LAST SEASON: 53-22-7, 113 points. Won Presidents' Trophy,
Metropolitan Division. Lost to Tampa Bay Lightning in Eastern
Conference finals.
COACH: Alain Vigneault, 14 NHL seasons, 520-341-35-74.
ADDED: RW Emerson Etem, G Antti Raanta, LW Viktor Stalberg, C
Jarret Stoll, D Raphael Diaz, C Brian Gibbons, C Jayson Megna, C
Matt Linblad, C Luke Adam.
LOST: LW Carl Hagelin, G Cam Talbot, RW Martin St. Louis, D Matt
Hunwick, C Chris Mueller, C James Sheppard.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Chris Kreider. The 24-year-old left wing is
coming off a career-high, 21-goal season and the Rangers'
hierarchy believes he is capable of becoming one of the NHL's
elite players. He has size, speed and the toughness to take a
major step this season and join Rich Nash as a major contributor
on offense.
OUTLOOK: The Rangers have been close the past two seasons and
many wonder whether they missed their chance to win their first
Stanley Cup since 1994. Jeff Gorton replaced Glen Sather as the
general manager in the offseason and didn't make any major
moves, other than keeping young core players Derek Stepan, J.T.
Miller and Jesper Fast. If goalkeeper Henrik Lundqvist has
another 30-win season, Nash (42 goals) is among the league
leaders and a veteran defense delivers led by Ryan McDonagh
stays healthy, New York will get one more shot at a title. |
| | Devils-Rangers Preview By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer
The New York Rangers value defenseman Ryan McDonagh's leadership just as much as his contributions on the ice, and losing him for any period of time would leave a major hole in the lineup. The 26-year-old captain is in danger of missing his first game of the season Monday night as the Rangers seek their first three-game winning streak since mid-November when they host the New Jersey Devils. McDonagh has elevated his play over the last month, recording two goals and seven assists in his last 12 and finishing with one of each in Thursday's win over Minnesota. But after being whistled for four minutes of penalties in the first period against Philadelphia on Saturday, McDonagh was sucker-punched by Wayne Simmonds and fell to the ice. He didn't return as the Rangers (29-18-5) fought back for a 3-2 shootout victory, and his status against the Devils (26-20-7) is unclear after the club declined to provide an update Sunday. Keith Yandle's goal with 12.9 seconds left in regulation extended the game before Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored in the shootout. "When you lose your captain, a guy like Mac, it's tough," Yandle said. "The emotions were really high and we wanted to go out there and really have his back. Finding a way to get the two points is huge." Henrik Lundqvist made 26 saves to help bring New York to the verge of winning three straight for the first time since a nine-game run from Oct. 25-Nov. 15. Chris Kreider scored for the second straight game to get the Rangers on the board early in the final period. ''In the third, we played our best hockey,'' Lundqvist said. ''We had the determination to get the things done. I think it shows to ourselves what type of mentality that you need to win games.'' The Rangers weren't able to hold on against New Jersey on Tuesday, though, allowing goals to rookie Joseph Blandisi and David Schlemko in the third period of a 3-2 defeat. Lee Stempniak scored in that contest and also found the net in overtime to give the Devils a 2-1 victory in the first meeting Oct. 18 to end a six-game losing streak in the series. New Jersey has gone 5-1-2 since Jan. 16 and is tied with Pittsburgh for the Eastern Conference's final playoff spot, but it has allowed the tying goal late in the third in each of its last two, falling 3-2 in shootouts against Toronto on Thursday and Washington on Saturday. Blandisi, who made his NHL debut Dec. 11 and has played 14 games, finished with a goal and an assist to give him three goals and five assists over his last six. ''We know we are in a race and we want to try to remain competitive and find a way to win more games than we lose,'' coach John Hynes said. "When you get a lead like that you know the puck is going to be funneled to the slot or crease area. We're there, but there's a difference between being there and paying attention to details when there." Cory Schneider allowed two goals or fewer for the 12th time in his last 14 starts, a stretch during which he's posted a 1.72 goals-against average. He's been in net for both meetings against the Rangers this season, stopping 57 of 60 shots. Lundqvist has a 1.64 GAA in his last six against the Devils. |
