They last met in a Conference finals in 1994. In that series, the Rangers rebounded from being down three games to two and win the final pair of games for a seven game series victory. You might say that has little relevance eighteen years later and I would agree. However, it should be noted, that the New Jersey goaltender in 1994 was none other than the same guy who will be in net tonight for the Devils by the name of Martin Brodeur.
Brodeur is now forty years of age, but continues to provide a solid effort night in and night out for New Jersey.
