The Devils giveth and the Devils took it away a couple of games ago, Vitali Kravtsov thought he scored his first NHL goal but former Rangers assistant and now NJ head coach Lindy Ruff challenged for offsides. It turned out the Mika Zibanejad had his skate over the line too early and Kravtsov lost his goal.

The New York Rangers euphoria for Kravtsov turns to concern as Alexandar Georgiev appeared to injure his lower body while making a save. At this time there is no update on his condition. Igor Shesterkin takes over in net with the Blueshirts up 2-0.

UPDATE: Alexandar Georgiev returns to start second period.
