New York at New Jersey

New Jersey is in the playoffs for the first time since 2018 compared to the Rangers, who got plenty of postseason experience last year. New York has won 12 of its past 19 games and will have Igor Shesterkin in net and he had a 2.59 goals-against average in 20 games in the 2022 playoffs. The Rangers are 7-3 their past 10 conference quarterfinal games and they have won 10 of the past 14 meetings with the Devils. The Rangers made some excellent midseason acquisitions, including Patrick Kane and Vladimir Tarasenko, that have enhanced their postseason chances. Shesterkin is 37-13-8 with a 2.48 GAA and .916 save percentage and three shutouts on the season and he still has the edge over Vitek Vanecek of the Devils. New York is a bargain at this price.
