Rangers hold off Devils, win series in 5

New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, left, of Sweden, stops a penalty shot by New Jersey Devils' John Madden during the third period in Game 5 of a first-round NHL playoff hockey series Friday night, April 18, 2008 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. The Rangers eliminated the Devils 4-1 in the best-of-seven games series.

It took only two years for the New York Rangers to turn a four-game sweep into a sweet five-game payback for the New Jersey Devils. Ushered out of their first postseason appearance in nine years by their cross-river rivals in 2006, the Rangers turned the tide and finished off the Devils with a 5-3 victory Friday night.
