The 2023-24 season is shaping up to see the rivalry between the Rangers and Devils intensify, as both teams set their sights on significant playoff campaigns. Notably, this competitive energy was already palpable in the pre-season.

Controversial Collision

Rangers' captain, Jacob Trouba caught the spotlight with a robust hit on Tyler Toffoli during a recent pre-season face-off.


The hit was controversial as Toffoli was unsuspecting, with his back turned when Trouba made contact. Even though the referees didn't penalize Trouba, it's evident that the Devils will not forget this incident anytime soon.

Rising Tensions and Expectations

The Devils were visibly angry, as they were sure that Trouba's action deserved a penalty. Given the aggressive stance Trouba has displayed against them over recent times, this incident is likely to escalate the rivalry even further.
