After a tough battle between the division rivals, Scott Gomez and the Rangers tallied their fourth win over the Devils to advance to the second round. The Blueshirts' next opponent has yet to be determined.

Paced by a three-point night from Jaromir Jagr, the Rangers defeated the Devils 5-3 in Friday night's Game Five to eliminate New Jersey from the postseason. Now the Rangers get to rest and await the results of the other three Eastern Conference series.

Rangers rookie Marc Staal went from goat to hero in the span of one playoff game. In Game Three, the Devils' OT game-winning goal went in off his foot and into the Rangers net. But in Game Four, Staal scored the winner in the waning minutes.

Marc Staal went from goat to hero last night when he scored the game-winning goal late in the third period in the 5-3 victory. The Rangers continue to get to Martin Brodeur both on the score board and in his head, and it's the primary reason they are up 3-1 in the series.

John Madden's centering attempt six minutes into the overtime banked in off Marc Staal's skate blade and lifted the Devils to a much needed 4-3 victory last night at the Garden. The series resumes Wednesday night at MSG with the Rangers still leading two games to one.

Henrik Lundqvist continued his masterful work against the Devils last night at the Prudential Center as the Rangers took a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with a 2-1 victory. Martin Brodeur was again outplayed.

Those were the words spoken by Martin Brodeur after the Devils’ second loss in a row to the Rangers in their first round playoff series. The Devils maintain that they will stay positive.

Once again, Henrik Lundqvist got the best of Martin Brodeur as the Rangers came away with a 4-1 win at the Prudential Center last night to lead their quarterfinal series 1-0. Scott Gomez had three assists and Ryan Callahan's scored the game-winner.
