For the second time in as many weeks, the New Jersey Devils awaited a traveling Boston Bruins squad that arrived in Newark on short rest.
The result remained the same.
Fresh off a tough shootout loss in Ottawa 24 hours prior, the Bruins struggled to generate quality scoring bids against Vitek Vanecek and the Devils. But even with tired legs, they remained an opportunistic bunch during Wednesday’s grinder at Newark’s Prudential Center.
After peppering Cam Talbot with 51 shots the night before, the Bruins had to lean on Linus Ullmark to carry them in the latter half of their latest back-to-back.
