New Jersey has finally achieved the playoffs! In recent years, the Devils have been undergoing a restructuring, but they eventually ended, immediately leading to improved results. From the beginning of the regular season, Lindy Ruff's wards always showed good results. In the last eight games, the Devils have won six times, losing only to Winnipeg and Boston – 1:6 and 1:2. It allowed New Jersey to achieve third place in the Eastern Conference standings, and they will have the start of the playoffs at home.

It is another team that had a generational change. Last season, the New York team achieved the playoffs and made a lot of noise there, reaching the Stanley Cup semifinals. There is no doubt that now the Rangers will try to get even further, and for this, they have strengthened the lineup, inviting Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrick Kane during the regular season. At the finish of the regular season, Gerard Gallant's wards showed modest results, which is why they stayed in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, but in the playoffs, such an experienced team will play differently.

New Jersey had a fantastic regular season ending, gaining home advantage in the first round of the playoffs, but cup battles are at another level. Cup experience is one of the most crucial success aspects. So, the Devils has very little since they have missed the Stanley Cup in recent years, and several players have never played at this level. The Rangers will have a considerable advantage in this regard, and their level of skills is not lower than that of the Devils. 

The opponents are unlikely to upset us with dull and defensive hockey. According to the statistics, New Jersey and the Rangers are much more successful in an attack. In four meetings at the end of the regular season, they scored 25 goals against each other (6.25 on average per game), which is an excellent result for NHL.
