2-2 after one. Panarin (PP) & Vesey for #NYR, J. Hughes & Palat (PP) for NJD. SOG 10-10. Igor won't be proud of the goals he's allowed in his 1st game since Nov. 2. Panarin sets team record for longest point streak to start a season. Devils up 8-7 on FOs. Trouba hit hurt Nosek.
End 1P: #NYR 2, #NJDevils 2 SOG: 10-9 NJD Hits: 10-9 NJD Blocks: 7-7 Turnovers: NYR 12; NJD 10 FO: 53% (8-for-15) NJD PP: NYR 1/1; NJD 1/1 HDCF: 3-2 NJD xGF: 0.86-0.65 NYR A fairly even period, but I'm sure Igor isn't happy about letting the Devs first goal get through.

END 1: #NJDevils 2 - 2 #NYR That was fun.
That was a similar goal to Jack Hughes. It looked like Igor Shesterkin may have made the save, but it trickled in behind him. #NJDevils
Palat scores from the slot and the Devils have tied it at 2-2. Igor got a piece of it with the left pad, but not enough.
Palat PPG! #NJDevils tie it, again.
PALLY!!!! #NJDevils tie the game! 2-2
Jimmy Vesey with the go-ahead Rangers goal. The Blueshirts' puck movement has been outstanding. Rangers 2-1 Devils.
Jimmy Vesey cleans up the garbage to give #NYR a 2-1 lead. Credit Zac Jones for the heads-up pass to Braden Schneider, who put the puck on net.
Vesey gives the #NYR the lead back. 2-1, Rangers.
Jimmy Vesey jumps on a rebound from a Braden Schneider shot and puts the #NYR back on top, 2-1.
Vesey. 2-1 NYR
#NYR score. #NJDevils trail 2-1.
Jack Hughes tied the game for #NJDevils 2:23 after Artemi Panarin gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead.
Devils tie the game on a Jack Hughes shot that trickled through Shesterkin. Originally, the call was no goal as Shesterkin appeared to freeze it. Then changed to "good goal" on the ice. Then replay confirmed it was a "continuous play." 1-1
Weird sequence just now, #NJDevils Jack Hughes turnaround shot trickles through Igor Shesterkin, but looked like ref waived it off initially and ruled the play dead. Refs take another look and I think they said the initial call on the ice was a good goal? Either way 1-1
Toss by Hughes from the wall trickles through Shesterkin and in. Sounded like ref blew it dead, but puck went in from the initial shot so it counts. Bad one for Igor.
Hughes with a long wrister from along the boards that Igor initially stopped, but then trickled through his legs and in. Refs initially waved the play dead, but upon review they call it a good goal. (Looks like the right call.) 1-1.
Jack Hughes –– in his first game back. It's 1-1.
Welcome back, Jack Hughes!
Jack ties it! It's 1-1 #NJDevils/Rangers.
#NYR get the first power play and the first goal, Panarin off a sweet look from Trocheck. Points in all 15 for Panarin.
Tic-tac-toe PPG for Panarin. A new team record 15 straight games with a point to start the season. #NYR lead 1-0.
Rangers kept the puck moving - much like the #NJDevils do - on their power play and you could slowly see the penalty killers in box formation start to narrow, leaving plenty of room for Panarin to fire away.
Trocheck to Panarin for the PPG and we have a new #NYR franchise record for point streak to start a new season, which Panarin now owns at 15 straight. 1-0 Rangers
Quick passing sequence for #NYR ends with a power-play goal and a 15-game point streak for Artemi Panarin, 1-0
