The Islanders sealed a 4-1 victory, securing their playoff berth in impressive fashion.
However, amidst the chants, there was a twist of irony. Across the river, the New York Rangers clinched the Metropolitan Division and the Presidents Trophy with a 4-0 shutout against the Ottawa Senators at Madison Square Garden.
For Devils fans, it marked a disappointing end to a lackluster season. Just a year ago, they celebrated a thrilling seven-game series victory over the Rangers, but this season saw regression, coaching changes, and a failure to make the playoffs, compounded by four losses to the Rangers.
It was a less-than-ideal fan appreciation day, leaving both Devils and Islanders fans reflecting on missed opportunities, while Rangers supporters reveled in their success.
