The winner faces the Metropolitan Division champion Carolina Hurricanes in the second round.
Game 7 is nothing new to the New York Rangers.This time, they're happy about it and in a familiar spot against an opponent that doesn't have the same experience. After winning at home to avoid elimination, the Rangers visit the rival New Jersey Devils in Game 7 on Monday night to wrap up the first round and decide who'll take on the Carolina Hurricanes.
"What a game to be in: Where would you rather be?" said Devils coach Lindy Ruff, who's 0-4 behind the bench in a Game 7 at this level. "It's something that if you're a little kid growing up, you're going to sit there and go, 'Man, I'd love to play in that game.' We worked hard all year to get to this point."
The Rangers and Devils are facing off in a Game 7 for the third time, but the previous two were in 1992 and 1994. Just eight of the 40 players expected to be in uniform were alive then, and perhaps only Patrick Kane remembers either series won by New York.
