The New Jersey Devils' defensive play set an NHL record on Monday afternoon's victory over the New York Rangers.

The New Jersey Devils are largely credited with the creation of the NHL's Dead Puck Era. Perhaps guilty of creating is a better description, as the late 1990's and early 2000's produced some of the least offense in league history while the Devils mastered a defensive structure that suffocated teams.

The Devils defeat the Rangers 5-0. The way the Devils have stifled their opponent's opportunities made for yet another low-shot outing for Jacob Markstrom. New Jersey's netminder posts his second shutout in a row, requiring just 12 saves for the victory. Just two nights ago, Markstrom shut out the Penguins also required just 12 saves.
