The Rangers entered Thursday night’s matchup with the Maple Leafs unsure of who would be waiting for them in the first round of the playoffs, but by the end of it, they were set for their first postseason meeting with the Devils since 2012.
It did not disappoint, however, as the Metropolitan Division chips fell in a Rangers-Devils series and a Hurricanes-Islanders series. The Rangers were successful in that endeavor, which tees up a highly anticipated Round 1 matchup between two of the most exciting teams of the 2022-23 season.This will be the seventh all-time postseason meeting between the Rangers and Devils, two teams who have gone through rebuilds in recent years and have made it to the other side.
Last season, the Rangers were the unexperienced team to watch out for during their conference-finals finishing run.
