The top seeded New York Rangers staved off elimination with back-to-back wins in the first round, included the first of two Game 7 victories, but John Torteralla's blue shirts didn't have enough to get through the New Jersey Devils.
On Monday night, the New Jersey Devils got the better end of it, scoring three goals on Henrik Lundqvist then adding an empty netter in a 4-1 home victory to tie the series 2-2.
