There is no denying the fact that New Jersey was the more consistent team throughout the entire season, but the playoffs are a completely different story.
The Devils are in their first postseason since 2018 and have a lot of members on the roster that will be playing their first playoff game, whereas the Rangers are looking to go on another long postseason run just like they did last year after reaching the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals. In almost every opening game of a playoff series, the road team has to weather the storm and settle in as the home team typically comes out flying, feeding off of their home crowd. I am expecting exactly that from New Jersey tonight.
I expect the Rangers to have to settle into their game and try to contain New Jersey’s speed, but for this specific game, I like New Jersey’s chances. The home side went 3-0-1 against New York this season, but in my mind, you can throw regular-season stats out the window, but with that being said, I believe the Devils will take Game 1.
