Devils Edge Rangers in Metro Race | New York Islanders News

The Rangers and Devils are heating up as playoff contenders in the Metropolitan Division, while the Islanders remain cautiously optimistic. The Rangers bolstered their roster with key additions like Oliver Bjorkstrand and Sean Durzi, paired with Igor Shesterkin’s elite goaltending—making them serious Cup threats. The Devils upgraded their offense with Luke Evangelista and Anthony Mantha, but shaky netminding remains a concern. The Islanders, unchanged from last year, still lack depth despite a new coach, focusing instead on prospects. With the Devils’ core chemistry, strong offense, and solid defense, they edge out the Rangers as the team most likely to hoist the Cup soon—if their young goalie can rise to the occasion.
