New Jersey are coming second last in the standings with 34 points in the asset, and recently they didn't earn any points at all. The team lost twice to Pittsburgh and then fought in three battles against Rangers. In the first two matches against the Cops, the Devils had no chances, and they lost 0:3 and 0:4, respectively.
But in the most recent game, Lindy Ruff's squad were close to making a comeback from a score of 0: 4. They narrowed the gap to just one goal, but couldn't score an equalizer. At home, New Jersey are looking bleak, and they have only won 4 out of 23 games.
Rangers are in fifth place and can jump up in the standings thanks to their victories in matches against New Jersey. The team tries to take advantage of such opportunities and does not give away points to a weaker opponent.

If we talk about the performance of David Quinn's team in away matches, she should mention that they score less, but at the same time, they concede less. Now they are involved in a tough competition with Boston for playoffs, so Rangers are very motivated.
