Oh, the Devils kicked sand in the Rangers’ faces as if the tourists from the other side of the Hudson were weaklings at the beach.

Jacob Markstrom made 12 saves for his second straight shutout and third of the season to extend his point streak to nine games (8-0-1). It was the Devils' first regular-season shutout against the Rangers since Cory Schneider made 22 saves in a 4-0 victory Oct. 19, 2013.

The Devils were moving the puck up and down the ice with ease with the Rangers not being able to do a thing about it. New York struggles against teams with speed, which clearly showed throughout the afternoon. The Rangers are not just losing, they are losing without showing an ounce of effort and passion.
