Rangers Beat Devils 3-2 in Overtime

The New York Rangers secured a 3-2 overtime victory against the New Jersey Devils, with Sam Carrick scoring the decisive goal in extra time. The win marked the Rangers' second victory in three games, improving their recent performance despite being four points behind the final playoff spot. Jack Hughes impressed for the Devils, scoring his 17th goal of the season and contributing to their goal tally. The Rangers capitalized on power plays with goals from Adam Fox and Artemi Panarin, showcasing a strong offensive effort. Despite the win, the Rangers' management is unlikely to pursue short-term player rentals ahead of the March 7 trade deadline, focusing instead on long-term team development. The Devils, while earning a point in this matchup, have struggled recently, now standing at 1-4-1 in their past six games.
