Jack Hughes scored the game's first goal in the first 2:50 of the game for a lead that would hold up until early in the third when Vincent Trocheck tied the game for the Rangers.
Siegenthaler would score a bit under seven minutes later with the game-winner and Ondrej Palat would clinch the game with an empty net goal.
Akira Schmid stopped twenty-two shots on goal in his second start of the playoffs.
The now-tied series now returns to Newark Thursday night for game five.
Hell Raisers
1) Jonas Siegenthaler also assisted on the Jack Hughes goal, so a tremendous night for Siegenthaler offensively from a player not known for his gifts on the offensive end.
2) Siegenthaler also stood tall in front of the net in a fine defensive performance.
All About The Jersey stated that this may have been Siegenthaler's finest game in the league, I'm inclined to agree.
3) Akira Schmid finished with his second winning performance in goal and once again, Schmid baffled a Ranger team that was dominant in the first games of the series in Newark.
4) Schmid's only goal allowed was understandable when Vincent Trocheck scored after a shot and a rebound were saved previously by the rookie goaltender.
5) What a bizarre series.
The road team has won each of the four games thus far.
The Rangers won their two games with a whopping ten goals, allowed just two, and dominated both games.
The Devils finished their two games with five goals (one in an empty net), allowed just two in games that were determined in overtime, and undecided until a later empty netter.
And yet, they are tied after four games of a series that is now a best of three.
Sports are a funny thing sometimes.
