There hasn’t been a playoff series since the first-round sweep of 1994 in which the Blueshirts humiliated their overmatched opponents and a longtime foil in nets, Ron Hextall, by an aggregate 22-3 margin.

And never in the 49 years the clubs have uneasily coexisted 35 miles apart has there been a head-to-head battle for a postseason berth this late in the regular season.
