Matt Gilroy followed up his solid performance on Tuesday night with an even better one Wednesday night against the Devils at the Prudential Center, registering the Rangers’ first goal and later scoring in the shootout. The Rangers lost, 3-2 SO, despite Gilroy’s efforts.
Joining a Ranger rush early in the third period, he took a pass, sped past a defenseman and beat former Brown goalie Yann Danis with a quick backhander.
