The two longest-tenured Rangers passed it back and forth before Kreider buried it for the 3-3 score, giving the home team two shorthanded goals in the span of 42 seconds. It was the first time the Rangers scored two shorthanded goals while killing the same penalty since March 5, 2014.

The Devils are playing without injured stars Jack Hughes and Dougie Hamilton, but they’re still capable of putting together dominant stretches of puck possession. They did it sporadically against the Blue Jackets, including a three-goal first period aided by a power play and two fortunate bounces.
