There wasn't much celebrating after the Rangers won the Presidents' Trophy for the best regular-season record for the third time in franchise history.

The post-game activity after the Rangers 4-2 win over the Devils on Tuesday night was businesslike.

"It's not an easy thing to do," coach Alain Vigneault said. "You look at the teams still fighting to get into the playoffs. It's a challenging thing. For our group, it's one thing in the direction that we're looking to get to. I'm very proud of our group but we all know that we are going to be judged by what we do in the playoffs. So this is a first step and we're going to get ready for the next one."
