NEW YORK — The last time the Rangers played the Devils, back on Nov. 28, their season just about bottomed out.
Coming off a game where they’d blown a three-goal lead in the third period against Edmonton and lost, the Blueshirts blew a two-goal lead against New Jersey and lost.
Afterward, goaltender Igor Shesterkin took responsibility for the loss, saying he’d “played a [expletive] game, again,’’ and adding that he was “ashamed’’ of how he was playing.
