Rangers 3, Devils 6 - 3/10/10
With Martin Brodeur and Henrik Lundqvist guarding the nets, perhaps the one thing no one can reasonably expect when the Devils and Rangers play each other is the kind of weird, up-and-down goalfest that took place Wednesday night at the Prudential Center.The goals came fast and furious as the Devils won, 6-3, to snap a two-game losing streak. In the process New Jersey managed to chase Lundqvist from the net after Brian Rolston’s goal at 15:19 of the second period put the Devils, 5-3.
“It was a tough one for me and for us,” Lundqvist said. “I thought we played pretty good — just a couple sequences where the puck definitely didn’t bounce our way — hit our guys and went in. We didn’t make that many mistakes, but they were able to take advantage of the few we made.”
Lundqvist, who allowed five goals on 17 shots, said perhaps he could have played a little more aggressively than he did. But, he said, “it was just a tough night for me. Pucks were hitting our guys, their guys, this was a tough one for me.”
The fifth goal, the one that prompted Rangers coach John Tortorella to remove Lundqvist and insert backup goalie Alex Auld, was an example of one of those where the puck hit one of the Rangers.
FINAL SO
3-6
