Different teams, different years and much different stakes, that’s all true, but do you know what Monday’s Game 4 against the Devils felt like?

It felt like either Game 5 or Game 7 of the 2015 conference finals against the Lightning in which the Rangers came up flat and were shut out 2-0 in each contest following inspirational victories on the road.

And do you know what else?

New Jersey’s 6-foot-5 netminder Akira Schmid looks suspiciously like a latter-day Ben Bishop, the 6-foot-7 then-Tampa Bay goaltender who always gave the Rangers fits while compiling a career record of 11-3 with a 1.93 GAA and .930 save percentage against the Blueshirts during the regular season.
