The bi-annual Blueshirts takeover in Newark has arrived. Prudential Center is the site for tonight’s edition of the Hudson River Rivalry as the New York Rangers visit the New Jersey Devils. The Rangers and Devils were both victorious in their respective Stadium Series games over the weekend, but while the Rangers maintained their momentum with a win against Dallas on Tuesday, the Devils spent their Tuesday night on the wrong end of a 6-2 drubbing at the hands of the Washington Capitals.
Both Jimmy Vesey and Artemiy Panarin are question marks for tonight’s game, so the Rangers recalled Brennan Othmann from AHL Hartford in case either player ends up being unable to suit up.
