Chris Kreider was one of three New York Rangers to have two-point nights in their 3-0 victory in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference final against the New Jersey Devils on Monday night. Dan Girardi broke the two-period scoreless tie 53 seconds into the third period on a play that showcased Kreider's speed, as he got to the loose puck in the offensive zone, stopped and waited, then passed the puck back to Girardi, who was coming on the ice in a line change, for the one-timer. Kreider scored at the 12-minute mark of the third period on the power play off of a slick back-handed flick pass from Artem Anisimov. Girardi had the secondary assist on the play. Anisimov also potted the empty netter with 1:27 left. Michael Del Zotto, Brian Boyle and Ruslan Fedotenko had the other assists. Del Zotto also led all skaters with six shots on goal, while shutdown defensemen Girardi and Ryan McDonagh led with a plus-2 rating.
