The New Jersey Devils scored both in the opening minute and the closing minute of Monday’s preseason game against the New York Rangers.
Reid Boucher got the Devils on the board just 59 seconds into the game and Michael Ryder added a tally of his own later in the first period to double their lead, but New Jersey saw its advantage slip away in the final 20 minutes of play.
The Rangers rallied from a 4-2 deficit in the third period, as Chris Kreider and Jesper Fast scored just two and a half minutes apart to tie it up. Their comeback didn’t last long, though, as Adam Henrique buried the puck through traffic with 51.7 seconds remaining, beating Cam Talbot stick-side.
It was an exciting last-minute win (literally) despite it being a preseason game.
