Erik Haula and Timo Meier scored and Vitek Vanecek made three big third-period saves to lead the Devils to a win over the Rangers on Thursday night in a matchup that got feistier with each minute.
With Carolina's loss to Detroit, New Jersey moved within one point of the first-place Hurricanes, who have played one fewer game. If the Devils overtook Carolina, they would not face the Rangers in the opening round.
Vanecek finished with 24 saves as he stopped Vincent Trocheck in close twice and Vladimir Tarasenko in the final 12 minutes in picking up his 30th win.
