Before the Rangers and Devils squared off in a Game 7 Monday night at Prudential Center, as the final contest of the first round of the NHL playoffs, brackets were busted left and right as other series around the league wrapped up.
“As we always talk about, the NHL is close,” Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant said before the teams took the ice for Game 7. “I mean, seeing Boston have the great season that they had and then, you know, it’s tough to see a team lose like that.

The Kraken whiffed on their first chance to close out the series, but Seattle goalie Philipp Grubauer was spectacular with 33 saves in Game 7 as Oliver Bjorkstrand scored twice to punch his team’s ticket to the second round.Getty Images“I just think that’s the NHL for you today,” said Patrick Kane, who skated in his sixth career Game 7 Monday night with the Rangers. “There’s so much parity in the league.
