New Jersey Devils (31-28-4) vs. New York Rangers (40-18-4)
New Jersey Devils vs. New York Rangers 3/11/24 – As NHL regular season action heats up, sports handicappers have taken notice of the March 11, 2024 match-up between New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on March 11th 2024, drawing special interest.

It promises to be an exciting match-up as both sides strive for solidifying their positions or unexpected upsets; therefore handicapper predictions today suggest an exciting contest on ice that fans won’t want to miss!
The Devils are led on offense by Jesper Bratt, who has amassed 22 goals and 42 assists since joining the club in 2014. Unfortunately, however, they have struggled against teams with strong defensive strategies, like Igor Shesterkin’s goaltending – particularly against teams like the Rangers with Igor Shesterkin boasting an impressive.91 save percentage. Therefore, creative and relentless offensive strategy will likely be needed if the Devils want to penetrate Igor Shesterkin’s defense successfully.
Conversely, the Rangers boast an imposing offensive lineup led by Artemi Panarin – who has scored 35 goals and 50 assists this season – making them formidable competitors to Vitek Vanecek (goals-against average of 3.18). Their matchup will be key as Vanecek must step up defensively in order to prevent scoring opportunities for Artemi.

Goaltender Vitek Vanecek vs. Goaltender Igor Shesterkin
Vitek Vanecek‘s tenure with the New Jersey Devils has been marked by resilience and notable saves, yet his goals-against average of 3.18 this season exposes vulnerabilities which the high-scoring New York Rangers could exploit. While his save percentage of.89 is impressive, this will be put through its paces against Artemi Panarin’s assault as part of the Rangers offensive attack; his performance under pressure will be pivotal to their defense strategy as will Vanecek’s ability to elevate his game and make key saves under fire.
On the New York Rangers side of things, Igor Shesterkin has been instrumental in their success this season with an outstanding 2.67 goals-against average and.91 save percentage. Facing off against an explosive Devils squad led by Jesper Bratt will test Shesterkin’s consistency and game-saving saves to limit any attempts by Jesper Bratt to breach Rangers defense; his performance this year could prove crucial in keeping out Devils attacks while leading them toward victory!
