As long as you avoid the busiest times, it's only 30 minutes from MSG to Newark, and not much more than that from MSG to Nassau Coliseum.
Some of the Rangers' players get permission to head right from their homes to Nassau Coliseum because they live on Long Island.
It's a little trickier/longer from Nassau to Newark, but they just leave a little earlier in the day.
In every instance, it's completely unnecessary to check into a hotel the night before that would only be marginally closer.
The two L.A. area teams do the same thing.

Makes sense. What about matinee games? I suppose they are weekends so maybe not so bad?
