The New Jersey Devils erased a 3-2 third-period deficit when Amadeus Lombardi tied their preseason game against the New York Rangers with 1:44 left, but lost 4-3 in a shootout. Stefan Noesen and Ethan Edwards scored in regulation for New Jersey.
New Jersey had led 2-0 before the Rangers scored three consecutive third-period goals. Overtime remained scoreless; Will Cuylle scored New York’s only shootout goal, while all three Devils shooters were stopped.
Nico Daws allowed three goals on 23 shots. Defenseman Seamus Casey was injured on a check attempt at the blue line; coach Sheldon Keefe said he would miss some time. The report said the injury ruled him out of the opening-night roster, leaving a seventh defense spot open.
