The outcome was never in doubt as the New York Rangers scored early and controlled play in a win over the New Jersey Devils in Game 1.
From there, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner was on his way. He withstood another push from New Jersey in the third and finished with 27 saves for the win. He nearly earned his first postseason shutout, but Hughes converted a penalty shot with 2:46 remaining to end his bid.
The No. 1 overall pick from the 2020 NHL Draft went off for 99 points during the regular season and entered as arguably the most-feared offensive player on either team. But questions about how the 21-year-old's vast skill will translate when his space to maneuver dries up remain. The Blueshirts clogged passing lanes with active sticks, knocked him to ice with a few hard body checks and blocked a total of 23 shots. It was the type of defensive effort that Gallant should be proud of.
