Jack Hughes’ goal, his third of the series, was significant because it provided further evidence that the Devils’ star players have come alive.
Three minutes had not yet bled off the clock on the massive cylindrical scoreboard that hangs over the Madison Square Garden ice and the Rangers were already facing their worst nightmare:
He scored that night with relative ease, deeking the Rangers’ world-class goalie to the ice and putting the puck in the back of the net. That was something that New Jersey coach Lindy Ruff called for before Game 3, which was won by the Devils, 2-1, thanks to a second-period Hughes equalizer on a power play and a game-winner in overtime from Dougie Hamilton.“He’s a fun player to watch,’’ Ruff said after Monday’s game. “Night in night out, he’s doing special stuff.
But, after his team was outscored 10-2 in the first two games in New Jersey, Ruff’s feathers were ruffled and he spoke out about his star players who hadn’t been producing. This wasn’t Ruff calling his stars out as much as it was him simply stating the obvious.
