PRE-GAME STORY

NEW YORK, NY - The Devils held morning skate at Madison Square Garden ahead of their Game 4 matchup against the New York Rangers Monday morning. There was full attendance.
The team used a similar workflow to their Game 3 lineup…
Meier - Hischier - Bratt
Palat - Hughes - Haula
Tatar - McLeod - Mercer
Boqvist - Lazar - Bastian
Siegenthaler - Hamilton
Graves - Marino
Bahl - Severson
(Hughes - Smith)

Game 3 Success
After losing the first two games by matching 5-1 scores, the Devils responded with their best showing of the playoffs in a 2-1 overtime victory in Game 3. The team played a much tighter game in the defensive zone and was more patient, not forcing the issues to create offense.
"We were more on the same page. We did the things that we talked about," defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler said. "We stayed compact. That's a huge part to be successful in the D zone. We communicated better as well. It was flowing and at the end everything worked out."
New Jersey didn't play a perfect game. But they played perfect enough to win the contest.
"I still don't think we've played our best game," head coach Lindy Ruff said. "I thought we played well defensively. Offensively, I thought we left some plays out there."
Game 4 Carryover
Whether or not you believe in the success of Game 3 carrying over into Game 4 depends on whom you ask.
"You just hope that inside of a game and inside of a series you can carry some momentum, whether it's period to period or from game to game," Ruff said.
But there is certainly a lot to build from Game 3, particularly how well the team played defensively.
"Staying connected. The first two games we were a little separated, not as connected," Siegenthaler said. "Maybe we were nervous as well. We just have to take a breath here. Keep calm, play our game and not worry about anything else. I think that's what we did in Game 3. We just have to do it from now on going into the future."
While the Devils are looking to continue their strong play, the Rangers will no doubt look to avenge their own defeat.
"Tonight's going to be a great game. We get a chance to even up the series," forward Timo Meier said. "They're going to be (angry) after the loss just like we were. We have to expect that they're coming out hard. We have to focus on ourselves and bring our best game."
Timo Time
No player better exemplifies playoff hockey on the Devils than Meier. He was hobbled several times in Game 3, blocking a shot by K'Andre Miller, taking a high hit from Barclay Goodrow and getting mauled by both Igor Shesterkin and Braden Schneider.
"It's part of it. It's playoff time. You want to play hard," Meier said. "You expect them to play hard against us too. That's the fun part.
"I'm not afraid of physical contact. … You have to fight for that extra inch. That's part of it."
Meier's physical nature has been a welcomed addition to the Devils lineup.
"I think it was part of the reason we got him, bigger, stronger, physicality we really didn't have for a guy that can score a lot of goals," Ruff said.
Penalty Reads
The Devils have taken 15 penalties through the first three games of the First Round series. And while some of the calls can be argued, it's clear that the officials aren't holding back their whistles.
"You have to look at some of the calls and you have to analyze what you're getting called for," Ruff said. "If it's something you think you can prevent, you ask your players to try to prevent those situations. You also know in the playoffs you're going to get some tough calls against you. You hope the opposition gets some tough calls against them. That's all you can hope for."
