The New Jersey Devils are slight favorites to beat the visiting New York Rangers in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference final series today but Rangers star Brad Richards thinks his team will come out flying. The Rangers dropped Wednesday's Game 2, 3-2, as they were generally outworked. "We needed a day off, it was nice," Richards said. "We just played a seven-game series [against the Capitals] and we had one day in between. It was good to get away from it for a day." The Rangers have alternated wins and losses since winning Game 1 of the second round against the Capitals.
