Everyone always knew Tony DeAngelo had the skill to do some amazing things inside a hockey rink, but what he against the Devils at the Garden Thursday night might have been bigger than anything anyone might have imagined possible.
The slick-skating 24-year-old became the first Rangers defenseman to score a hat trick in more than 37 years, and also had two assists. He became the second defenseman in franchise history to record five points in a game.
