ESPN will host Monday’s matchup between the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils in Round 1 of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The puck is set to drop at 8:00 p.m. ET at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
The Rangers took the first two games of the series, winning both 5-1, before the Devils came back and won Games 3 and 4. New Jersey then took home Game 5 to take the series lead, but the Rangers offense came back in full force for another five goals in Game 6 to even things out.
The Devils enter as 1.5-goal favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook on their home ice. This has been a closely-fought series, and the drama should continue tonight as each team fights to advance to the second round, where they will face the Carolina Hurricanes.
