The Devils had an early goal disallowed after a review and another didnt count because it came after a whistle.I think in the second period we had a couple mistakes on some certain plays that wound up in the back of our net, Devils coach John Hynes said. The way you fix it is like you do with everything -- you go back, analyze the game, and we got a couple days to regroup and well work at it.Miller extended the Rangers lead to 2-0 with a short-handed goal with 3:53 left in the second. Kevin Hayes brought it toward the net and passed it to Miller, who tipped it in from the right side for his ninth.Skjei got his first NHL goal with 2.5 seconds left in the middle period. Off a faceoff to Schneiders right, Derek Stepan tipped it to Skjei, who fired a slap shot that appeared to deflect off a defenseman and past the goalie.It was awesome, Skjei said. Ive been waiting a while and you know I got a lucky bounce but Ill take it for sure.Pirri made it 4-0 with a power-play goal at 6:04 of the third when he wristed it in from close. It was Pirris sixth of the season and first in 13 games.Vesey capped the scoring with 1:15 remaining when he knocked in a rebound from the left side on a power play for his 10th.Adam Henrique appeared to give the Devils an early lead when he knocked in a rebound 1:09 into the game.

It was the second straight game the Rangers had an opponents goal wiped out.Kreider got New York on the scoreboard with 3:17 left in the opening period as he fired the puck through Schneiders five-hole for his eighth.The Devils nearly tied it with about 1:20 remaining in the period when Devante Smith-Pelly jabbed at a shot stopped by Raanta and knocked the puck across the line.
