The Devils stuck to their game plan from their last matchup with the Kings, and it was once again effective.
The New Jersey Devils love to slow a game down. Even at the expense of their own offense, they will consistently frustrate an opponent's ability to get a shot on net. That plan worked as well for them as it has worked for anyone against the Kings this season.
The Devils have reliably shut down the Kings this year. Through almost 125 minutes of play, the Kings have managed just a single goal.
