How to watch Rangers at Devils as New York and future star Gabe Perreault vie for wild-card spot
The New Jersey Devils host the New York Rangers for the teams' final meeting this season. The Rangers are coming off a 5-4 overtime win over the Minnesota Wild, in which Vincent Trocheck tapped in Artemi Panarin's pass 24 seconds into the extra time.
It wasn't the prettiest defeat, as Arthur Staple breaks down, but it earned the Rangers a significant two points as they continue to fight for the second wild-card spot in a very tight Eastern Conference playoff race with the Montreal Canadiens and Columbus Blue Jackets. The well-rested Devils are also coming off a win against the Wild, having edged them 3-2 in a shootout on Monday.

Gabe Perreault, the Rangers' 2023 first-round pick (No. 23), signed his three-year entry-level contract and joined the club earlier this week after Boston College's season ended in the NCAA Regionals. The top prospect's arrival comes at a crucial time with the Rangers in the middle of a playoff chase, but high-stakes hockey is no surprise to the 19-year-old winger who's played in his share of gold medal games at the World Juniors. Peter Baugh wrote more about the excitement around Perreault, who made his NHL debut with New York in Wednesday's OT win, sporting the same No. 94 as his father Yanic, former longtime NHLer, and with his Boston teammates in the crowd.
The Devils have held on to third place in the Metropolitan Division with 87 points and are slated for a first-round matchup with the second-place Carolina Hurricanes. New Jersey will notably be without star Jack Hughes through the postseason, as the center has been out since March 2 with an injury and underwent shoulder surgery that will keep him out until training camp. Speaking of injured stars, Pierre LeBrun checked in on who will and won't be available for the playoffs as the regular season winds down.

Change is in the works after the Nationals wrap up a 2-4 homestand
Washington Nationals Manager Dave Martinez sat at the dais after Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Texas Rangers and spoke in a reserved tone. He had lost his voice a bit during the day, so that contributed. Over seven games since the start of the month, the Nationals have scored 11 runs, the fewest in baseball by a seven-run margin. Right-hander Trevor Williams allowed just two earned runs, but he failed to complete five innings for the fourth time in his past five starts. So it's possible all of that was part of it, too.

More Photo byNo one gave the Pacers much of a shot heading into the 2025 Finals, as the Thunder - a juggernaut all campaign long - were thought of as too strong a team on both ends of the floor for Indiana to keep up with.

Leading the way for Indiana in the win was NBA Finals veteran Pascal Siakam, who had 19 points and 10 rebounds in the Game 1 victory for the Pacers.
