The Devils were a team that reminded everyone it finished the regular season with 112 points, five more than the Rangers.
If it is an axiom that players and teams need to have short memories in the playoffs — and it is — then the Devils showed up at the Garden on Saturday as if they had gone through an Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind treatment.
This was a team that reminded everyone it finished the regular season with 112 points, five more than the Rangers. “I think it was probably a combination of them being better and us not being as sharp,” Barclay Goodrow said after the Devils won Game 3 on Schmid was beaten only by Chris Kreider’s laser off a two-on-one rush feed from Mika Zibanejad, a play that began with Patrick Kane poking the puck off Ondrej Palat’s stick at the Rangers’ blue line. That gave the Blueshirts a 1-0 lead at 3:39 of the second period after a strong first period in which Schmid made key stops on a pair of Zibanejad power-play one-timers from the slot in the match’s sixth minute.
