Rangers give Devils their first win, Jack Hughes his first point
The Rangers officially kicked off the real season last night, and showed rust that accumulates after three games in two weeks. They had a good amount of chances, but Mackenzie Blackwood made some good saves and the Rangers also missed some good chances. On the bright side, they generated sustained offense at even strength. Even it’s just one game, that’s a positive.
Jack Hughes got a point on the Devils’ third goal, the eventual game winner that went off Miles Wood’s pants. So the Rangers gave the Devils their first win and Hughes his first point. Listen, both were going to happen, it’s just rough that it had to happen against the Rangers. Such is life in a rebuild.
