New York Rangers dominate New Jersey Devils in Game 2 to take 2-0 lead

The New York Rangers dominated the New Jersey Devils in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series, winning 5-1 to take a 2-0 lead on the road.

The Rangers were led by Chris Kreider, who scored two power-play goals in the second period, giving him four goals in two games. Patrick Kane added a goal and two assists, while Vladimir Tarasenko scored for the second straight game.

The Devils got on the board first with a goal by Erik Haula, but the Rangers quickly responded with strikes from Tarasenko and Kreider. Kreider's second goal of the game showcased his great hand-eye coordination as he tipped a soft pass from Kane over the goalkeeper's shoulder.

The New York Rangers were dominant on special teams, going 2 of 7 with the extra man. In contrast, the Devils could only convert one of their four power-play opportunities. Adam Fox had two assists, giving him six in two games, while Kaapo Kakko added a goal.

The game got chippy late on, with five players from each team getting sent to the locker room with just over six minutes left. Despite the physical play, Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin had a relatively comfortable night, making only 21 saves.

The series now shifts to Madison Square Garden for Games 3 and 4, where the Rangers will look to continue their dominance over the Devils. With Kreider leading the way, and the Rangers' special teams firing on all cylinders, they will be tough to beat.

The Devils will need to find a way to shut down the Rangers' power play and get more shots on goal if they hope to climb back in the series.
