If anyone in this playoff series between the Devils and Rangers is relishing the moment of Game 7 but with mixed emotions, it was Curtis Lazar.
If there’s anyone in this playoff series between the Devils and Rangers who was relishing the moment of Monday night’s Game 7 at the Rock but with mixed emotions, it was Curtis Lazar.
Lazar describes himself as a family man first and a hockey player second, so the time away from his wife and son has been difficult, particularly since he played only four regular-season games with the Devils before this playoff series, in large part because of a knee injury he suffered shortly after coming to New Jersey.
“He’s had an unbelievable attitude,’’ Devils coach Lindy Ruff said. “He plays with physicality and relentlessness when he’s on the ice. He fits right in with us.’’Lazar, who’s been in the lineup for the past four games of the series and been integral to a Devils penalty kill that struggled in the first two games, has fit in quite nicely as the Devils entered Monday night having won three of the four games he’s played.
